Sandbox Industries; and an impressive office
April 13th, 2009I spent the morning meeting with Defyned.com and Sandboxindustries.com at the Sandbox office in the west loop. I am happy to see the stylish creative culture of the west coast has made its way into this chicago incubator space; where tech and retail businesses set up shop.
Defyned.com and midVentures.com are consulting on a new Morgan Street Documents venture, which I may not be at liberty to discuss directly. However I can say that the founders and partners in Sandbox were the type of investment firm- and type of portfolio companies- that other firms should learn from.
My only piece of advice- the office could include more Macs and 20’somethings.







So what are the main differences in their business models from midVentures, in terms of the incubator model? Also, are they related to each other, then? Who else in the area do you think is doing things right in this space?
