Tech Cocktail
Tech Cocktail is an American web publication and events organization for startups, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts, co-founded in 2006 by former Tribune Company and AOL product strategist, tech blogger, and new media pioneer Frank Gruber and early FeedBurner employee Eric Olson as a way to better and amplify the local Chicago tech startup scene.
