What To Expect For Glappitnova
Today is the first day of Glappitnova but why should I come? Can it really change my life. How did you even come up with a name Glappitnova?
The Name Glappitnova
When we created our name it had to be funky, interesting, spark curiosity, and rememberable. The base of Glappitnova is Glappit, which is the name of our actual company. At the time in “2011” the letter “G” was a great letter to start your company name with in Chicago (Groupon, GrubHub, Google, etc). Our goal was to make information accessible to people through quick bits of pieces. That’s when the sound of Pac Man hit us. It made a noise like “Glappit…Glappit.” There was still something missing. So we asked the universe in binary code of course, and we were hit with a supernova. We combined Glappit with the idea of an informational supernova explosion that produced Glappitnova.
Cool Story But That Didn’t Change Life

- Nick the Co-Organizer of Glappitnova is known for having some funky dance moves, and really swanky private parties. We are sure he put on a show especially if Michael Jackson music is playing, then start talking about entrepreneurship as if the moves did not just occur. Also congrats on becoming one of the Chicago Ambassadors for HQ formerly known as Sandbox. The Chicago launch party with Grammy Award winning song writer Malik Yusef can be found here.
- Our influencer meet up at the Berkshire room is catered for potential participants of the next Glappitnova. This is what happened last time. This exclusive meet up is limited to a max of 50 people. It’s meant to really get to know each other in an extremely small scale environment.
- Hashtag #glappitnova and see for yourself. We’re on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Instagram for the social butterflies out there.
- In the past it’s been more of an underground community to establish the concept. We’re going big this time, and it’s scary. This will set the tone for great things in the near future.
- Various art work will be on display at “The Big Night” July 16th with a great mix of business causal and fashion forward individuals looking to party, learn, and connect. Not just hi, here is my business card…bye. Or even those three epic words… call me maybe?
