For the second year in a row, Punchkick co-founders Zak Dabbas and Ryan Unger have been named to Chicago’s Techweek100. Each year, the community, Advisory Board, and Team Techweek select a list of 100 technology leaders in the city who exemplify the ideal characteristics of an innovator. The list honors recipients’ originality of efforts, a company’s growth, and more.

Members of the Techweek100 display qualities like “prominence,” defined as the respect they garner “throughout their technology ecosystem” and their significance as “pillars of the [technology] community.”

Techweek is a week-long conference held in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City. The event celebrates technology and innovation across a variety of different fields, and serves as the stage to showcase the latest in emerging technology communities and ecosystems.

We’re proud of our co-founders for continuing to exemplify Punchkick’s values of authenticity and lifelong learning, and for their recognition among some of Chicago’s most forward-thinking business leaders.
