1. Their origin story…
Youtech was founded in 2012 while our CEO Wilbur was a student at Northern Illinois University, but the genesis occurred well before then. When he was 10 years old, Wilbur acquired the source code to an online role-playing game. He put the code up on his own server and charged users for in-game purchases (think invisibility cloaks, HP potions, rare candies, etc.). Fast forward six months until attorneys for RPG game knocked on Wilbur’s parents’ door. As a 10-year- old, he’d profited $10,000 a week over that six-month span. The attorneys, of course, dropped their civil suit after Wilbur agreed to pay back all proceeds to the source code owner.

3. The meaning of #agencylife…
#AgencyLife means play hard, work harder. For as much as people see the culture, few realize how many hours (not to mention blood, sweat, and tears) go into each and every project. We only exist because of our clients and we know we owe it to them to give our 110% every day.
“We Build Empires.”
Chicago Creative
4. Why Youtech loves CHI Town:
The people. Chicagoans know how to work hard and appreciate the big city life all at once. Chicago is a city that strikes up a balance most others couldn’t dream of.

Alinea. The creativity that Chef Grant Achatz exhibits in his menus is unmatched. We aspire to reach this same level of imagination and originality in our work.
