Throughout the year, Chicago Inno works to bring you the essential startup news to know about Chicago’s growing tech scene. From new company launches, large venture funding rounds, IPO announcements and everything in between, Chicago Inno is your source for daily innovation news. But at the end of each year, we like to take a step back and look at the companies that are poised for big things in the year to come.

Chicago’s tech companies have a knack for shaking up established industries with new and innovative ideas and solutions. Fintech and healthtech are two major areas of disruption, and insurance technology –– or “insurtech” to those in the know –– looks like it could be next up.
