Technology across the Chicago metro
Inclusive and diverse-owned technology businesses across the Chicago metro, not just the city itself.

How many tech businesses are listed across the Chicago metro?
Three right now, in Chicago. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
What should I ask a developer or IT provider?
Ask who owns the code and data when the work is done, what support looks like after launch, and how they handle security and accessibility.
Do tech businesses here work remotely?
Most do. The city on a listing is where they are based, and many serve clients across the country.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a tech business that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a tech business we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
