🔎 While Boston booms with nurturing tech, biotech, and climate tech startups, a need to support founders in retail, food, and other industries remain. Diverse entrepreneurs in these sectors face tough odds, receiving less than 5% of U.S. venture capital. 🌟🚀 To address this, Boston could implement a new strategy focusing on: 1) leveraging successful local industries like retail and food; 2) organizing a summit of key players in non-tech sectors; 3) creating a comprehensive resource guide; and 4) fostering long-term growth with mentorship and support. This approach aims to build a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem and bolster Massachusetts' economy. To read more, visit https://buff.ly/3YTZF7l
