Would be great if we could get our own little Kendall Square in Lincoln Yards.

I've been looking at funding data in general (not just pure tech companies) in various metros and it's insane how much funding a lot of these companies are getting in areas like San Diego and especially Boston. The ones in Cambridge and Boston are lured there because of MIT and Harvard, but am genuinely curious if Chicago can lure some more companies away from these cities.
