Chicago Tech Quote of the Week

“We believe in the ability for workers to drive more bottom-up decision making. We believe that there are opportunities for workers to use community to learn from and engage with one another. And we believe in the ability to apply those findings across a wider set of companies to try to create better workplaces.” —Logan LaHive, Frank co-founder

Frank launched from stealth. The company provides a platform where employees can discreetly discuss issues in their workplace without the presence of company management. Its goal is to optimize worker unions by giving them a secure tech platform to organize without fear of employer retaliation. Alongside the announcement of its launch, Frank is releasing its private beta app to the public. [Built In Chicago]

Cameo welcomed Magic Johnson to its board. The move marks the first time a member of Cameo’s talent pool has taken up a seat on its board of directors. Cameo has seen significant growth over the past year for its celebrity shout-out platform and now counts over 10,000 new additions to its network of pop culture icons. Johnson is available for fans to request a personalized video for $500. [Chicago Inno]

It’s planning to hire for several positions upon setting up shop in the Windy City with roles available in software engineering, business development, marketing and design, customer experience, HR and more.
