Chicago is over trying to do everything and is focusing only on the things that matter.

We know this because Technical.ly and Comcast NBCUniversal visited Chicago as part of our six-city event series, the Tomorrow Tour.

The community really came out in full force for this stop.

We heard from startups like CareMerge, City Zenith and R2. Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs even stopped by to talk about the state’s Growth and Innovation Fund. Inside this artful video recap by Tweed Video, you get to check out the offices of Big Marker, Review Trackers and BunkerLabs. They’re all part of the community we’ve outlined in this infographic. (Also check out these high-level Chicago takeaways from Technical.ly cofounder Chris Wink.)

So without further ado, here’s the video:
