Today Startup Boston released additional information about one of my absolute favourite tracks for SBW (Startup Boston Week) dedicated to the startup curious. It inspired me deeply. While I've spoken about the following at length in private, it's time I made this public.... I'm pleased to announce that my article, “What Startup Boston Means to Me and BNT,” will be published on August 27th, just before the Startup World Cup on the 28th. I had the privilege of attending the very first Startup Boston event in 2017, and since then, I've volunteered in subsequent years, witnessing firsthand the profound impact it has had on Boston, New England, and most importantly the people I care so much about: entrepreneurs and their teams. Under the visionary leadership of Stephanie Roulic—who I consider one of my dearest friends and mentors—Startup Boston has grown and evolved in ways that continue to inspire, energize, and amaze. In the article, I'll deep dive into why I believe EVERYONE should experience Startup Boston Week at least once and how the organization has continuously introduced new and exciting developments that keep it at the forefront of our industry. I'll also discuss the unique relationship Startup Boston has had with Boston New Technology (BNT) from the beginning -- and how it was BNT's community that tipped me off about the very first one. As we look ahead, Boston New Technology (BNT) and Prepare 4 VC are making it a key policy position as we sail through Q4 and look to next year for us to work closely with and support SB, aiming to strengthen the ties between our organizations for the betterment of the entire ecosystem. This is not just about collaboration for the sake of collaboration— Steph's fair and practical ways would never stand for that sort of nonsense. I consider a stronger relationship to be in the ultimate interest of even further innovation, supporting founders, and driving economic growth in our region. To wrap up the article, I'll outline the strategic importance of this partnership and why I and Shweta Agrawal (who I served with in 2018) believe that by aligning our efforts, we can create even greater opportunities. Steph: I say it often, and I mean it every time --- You've got this. This year's SBW is going to be one for the history books. Let's go! https://lnkd.in/eYrGsBRP < Sign Up, you will not regret it!
