The Chicago tech community is thriving—and for the city’s digital startups, there’s no

shortage of local inspiration. Success stories abound—and one of the most popular tickets

around always seems to be the chance to hear the story straight from the mouths of the

Founders.

Join us for Chicago Founder Stories at 1871—a monthly, ongoing series

inspired by Chris Dixon’s ever-popular Founder Stories on TechCrunch. We’re switching

it up a bit, doing our interviews in front of a live audience with GoSoapBox based Q&A, and

then posting those discussions online at 1871's website for those who couldn’t make it to

the live event. Plus—the beer and pizza is on us, generously sponsored by INCISENT.

This month Pat Ryan is hosting Logan LaHive, the founder of Belly.
