Groupon is a large part of the tech scene here in Chicago, contributing a lot to the scene.

But they're not our sole pillar any more. I think we all know that pillar is going to come crashing down in the near future, and we're ready.

Groupon helped propel us to where we are, and we're standing on our own now. In my opinion, the future of tech in Chicago will not solely depend on Groupon's activity.
