Boston doesn't get enough credit. When people talk about startup cities, it's always New York and San Francisco — Boston gets written off as a college town with good hospitals. That's a mistake.
Boston is quietly producing some of the most fundable, defensible startups in the country, fueled by world-class research institutions, deep biotech and SaaS talent, and a cost of living that still lets founders keep their equity instead of burning it on rent. The ecosystem here is tighter, the networks are more accessible, and the founders are building with substance over hype.

Come to this Ugly Talk to hear why some founders chose to build in Boston and why others packed up and moved here. What's working, what's broken, and what nobody tells you about building a tech company in a city that doesn't care about your Twitter following.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.

This event is a part of #BOSTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
