Testimonials

Jason Krantz

Strategy Titan

"Being a new entrepreneur, I am quickly learning that this is not a journey to be done alone. You need support and a community to advise you along the way. I have found exactly that at Innovation DuPage."

Antony Nettleton

Sikich

"We quickly understood the value Innovation DuPage would bring and decided to partner with the organization. As a partner, we work alongside local colleges, research firms, chambers of commerce, and more to supply local entrepreneurs with the resources and insights they need to succeed."

Melissa Villanueva

Brewpoint Coffee

"ID has been an amazing educational and community resource for entrepreneurs. I enjoyed the Owner-2-CEO program and, to this day, still keep in contact with my cohort. ID doesn’t hesitate to connect and highlight business owners for opportunities.”

Maureen Longoria & Lisa Burns

LivNow Relocation

"Innovation DuPage has brought us resources beyond belief. They’ve made connections with us that we could have never made on our own. What they have brought to LivNow Relocation is absolutely priceless."

Joe Barron

Gray Matters Games

"As the first member company of Innovation DuPage, we’ve grown up together. I love being able to bounce different ideas off of other entrepreneurs, it saves all of us time, it saves us money, and takes our business to the next level."
