Kickstarter-mania has officially come to the City of Chicago. World Business Chicago and the mayor’s office has announced Tuesday morning they plan to team up to form Seed Chicago, “Chicago’s first curated Kickstarter page which will use crowdfunding to grow businesses and create jobs in Chicago’s neighborhoods.”
So far, Seed Chicago has 11 projects stemming from various Chicagoland neighborhoods. The projects run the gamut from small businesses (like Englewood’s Altogether Lovely hair salon seeking to open a hair-braiding and maintenance
