A Hub for Tech and a Haven for Innovation

Settled on the Chicago riverfront in the heart of the city, at Avant we’ve got a lot to brag about. We’re surrounded by award-winning restaurants, monumental architecture and nice people (it’s the Midwest, after all).

Another great piece of Chicago? The tech scene.

We’ll admit we’re biased, but numbers don’t lie. According to Inc., Chicago has added over 40,000 tech jobs in the past four years and is the 5th largest tech market in the country. Abundant with venture capitalists and incubators, the city is a hotbed for innovation and growth across a number of industries. Why not experience it for yourself?
