Startup Founder 101: Innovation with On-Demand Business Models

The On-Demand Economy is revolutionizing commercial behavior in cities around the world. The number of companies, the categories represented, and the growth of the industry is expanding at an accelerating pace. The new on-demand models have opened the door to real-time fulfillment of goods and services, which consumers have embraced with a frequency that is unprecedented. The fast-moving technology companies competing in this arena have developed new models that are transforming industries which have historically been slow to innovate. With the fast growth of Chicago's entrepreneurial community, we have also seen a rise in on-demand business models. At this event, we will hear from the following founders about their innovative on-demand business models: Sara Bokan of Maiday (cleaning services, FI Chicago graduate), Lina Pakrosnyte of Urban Leash (pet care), Dan Parsons of DRYV (dry cleaning and laundry service). The panel will be moderated by Jason Jacobsohn, Chicago Director of Founder Institute. The event is sponsored by Argosy University and Tenant Advisory Group.
