The May Report: 711/2011: I really don’t know what to say or think. There is one name on the vetted and refereed Tech Week list of the “100 most innovative names in Chicago technology” that is not like the others and clearly doesn’t belong there — you may be able to guess which one it is and there are some folks who should be on the list but are not — we have plenty of time for that later… Lundin wasn’t around so I had to write the headline myself and you can see how boring it is

The May Report: 7/6/2011: The ghost of Maverix.net: “Soon after Jerry’s death in 1998, his sons Tom and Jim launched a venture of their own. They called it Maverix. The idea was to provide high-speed Internet to Midwestern businesses. With $42.5 million in raised capital ($2 million from the brothers themselves), they leased a swanky office in downtown Chicago and boasted of plans to serve 30 cities in short order. But Maverix flopped. Badly. The brothers filed for bankruptcy on its behalf in January 2001, leaving creditors short several million dollars. Disgruntled former employees kvetched publicly about the difficulty of getting final checks from the wealthy Kalishmans…Even a former executive defending their character conceded their ‘naiveté, pride and lack of management experience.’ ” Nick Phillips of the Riverfront Times in St. Louis has written a great article; Fortune’s 2011 and 2010 list of 100 Great Things about America
