We are in Chicago and are pretty good too. Though we are in the hr tech space too so probably why we didn't make the list. :)

Why is Orbitz continually ignored on these "most famous Chicago IPOs" lists?

This is a list of startups. Orbitz is far from a startup.

How would you classify Groupon, then? They went public 4 years ago.

They said Groupon is one of the "examples of successful Chicago based startups". So it's no longer a startup. And it IPOed recently whereas Orbitz IPO'ed in 2003 so it's not a recent startup.

Good lord. No wonder this city's scene sucks.

As a fellow Chicago founder in this community for 10+ years, I might have put some other Chicago startups on this list of having to pick the top 10... It feels like these are 12 startups that use the 500 miles platform for recruiting.

What Chicago startups would you put on the list?

None of these companies currently recruit on 500 Miles. What other companies would you add to the list. I can update it!
