We’re a little jaded as a society in New England. ... Whether it’s a company I’m an investor in, whether it’s a company somebody you know works for or not, we all need to be talking about New England innovation successes and the companies that are going to leave a mark here.
Many a leader of Boston’s innovation scene would agree that the Hub churns out world-class tech talent and cutting-edge startups. But, as Jeff Fagnan urges, it’s time for them to start vocalizing the community’s progresses and pride.
The Atlas Venture partner shared his take on the role business and innovation plays in the new economy as part of Boston UpFront. The event, held on April 30th, will explore the next chapter for the city, providing a comprehensive view of the future, and the obstacles that lie ahead.
The 45-minute innovation showcase will explore in-depth three core topics, among them, the rising stars and leaders of the new economy. Joining Fagnan in spurring the conversation will be Steve Conine, the owner of e-commerce company Wayfair, Maria Cirino, the founding managing director of .406 Ventures, Greg Selkoe the CEO of Karmaloop, as well as a number of other top influencers.
So, how can the city's most creative thinkers and doers work together to put Boston even more on the map?
Join the more than 500 city influencers, decision-makers, business leaders and students who will be attending Boston UpFront on April 30 at Space 57 in the Revere Hotel to find out. You can get your ticket here.
