Anyways...so...would you say the following are all sleazy: braintree, orbitz, threadless (aka skinnycorp), 37signals
Those are the next startups i think about when i think chicago.
Orbitz does some cool stuff, but it isn't a startup. It was a spinoff from various megacorps.
37signals manages to work within the Chicago paradigm. However, they are run more like a small business than a high-growth startup.
Grubhub would be more a Chicago success story.
