In late 2022, Vyond opened its doors in Chicago with a pilot team of three in a modest office space in Fulton Market. A year and a half later, our Chicago footprint has expanded to 40 employees and we’ve moved into a spacious new office space just up the street, at 401 N. Morgan Street.
Chicago is an incubator for emerging tech. It’s the perfect environment for our continued innovation around our core generative AI product, Vyond Go. And it puts us closer to many of our customers.

“We strongly believe Chicago will only continue to grow as a leading tech hub as it has for the past decade,” says our CEO, Gary Lipkowitz. “We’re scaling the generative AI revolution for video creation. We need the right people, office space, and surrounding ecosystem to support our business and technical vision. Chicago and Fulton Market specifically have proven to be the perfect Midwestern hub to support our growing customer base here and on the East Coast.”
On March 21, coinciding with our 17th anniversary, we welcomed local leaders and customers to cut the ribbon and help us make the new space official. Vyond CEO Gary Lipkowitz and Alex Mattison, Vyond’s Chicago-based Senior Vice President of Sales, along with Chicago economic leaders Abin Kuriakose, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer of World Business Chicago and Claude Cimeus, Director of Platform & Experience, P33, reflected on Vyond’s continued growth and commitment to being a great corporate citizen in the Windy City.

Thank you for the outpouring of support this week. The growing Chicago team is eager to drive even more innovation and success as Vyond continues to lead the AI-video-creation revolution. Onward!
