We are proud to be involved with this event and to help contribute to the growth of Chicago start-ups.  We understand the growing pains and obstacles that come with a new business.  We feel it is our job to pay it forward and provide assistance and guidance for IT and hosting needs, as well as how to transition into the cloud.   As a way to help, we will be offering Free Cloud for a Month up to $100. This will provide a great way for companies to try out the Cloud for themselves. In addition, we will be offering free assessments to companies to help them enhance their IT infrastructure.
