Culture & Jobs at Provi

The Midwest had a banner year in startup funding, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic continuing through 2021.

The list is out for 2023 — check out the Top Chicago Startups to Watch in 2023. As one of the biggest cities not just in the Midwest but in the country, Chicago has a fast-growing startup ecosystem. Some of the biggest tech companies are based in Chicago (Grubhub, G2, Cameo, and so many more), and the city has minted 8 unicorn startups. And there are plenty of rapidly growing companies and startups hiring in Chicago. 

Chicago has minted eight unicorn startups valued at over $1 billion just in the first half of 2021 alone. The Windy City is on track for explosive growth in the tech sector as Big Tech moves more headquarters to the Midwest and startups bloom around them. 

Companies everywhere are hiring for remote jobs.
