This networking event was exclusively for SaaS/AI: Founders (minimum Seed funded and later), C-Suites, Investors/VCs, and Tech media. Applications were carefully screened. No +1s were allowed. Only approved guests were permitted onto the premises.
With 167 attendees, this event became a perfect reminder of just how powerful community and relationships are in this industry. We originally planned to host at Tall Ship Boston, but with rain in the forecast the day before, it became clear the weather wouldn’t cooperate for a mostly outdoor event. Thankfully, because of the relationships we’ve built over the years, a few quick calls turned into a solution almost immediately. Our friends at Nappr stepped up with a new venue, and we were also able to combine forces with Jared Lerner. That’s what makes startup communities special: people show up for each other.
The evening turned out fantastic, with founders, partners, customers, and industry leaders all coming together for a high-energy night of conversations and connection. Strong relationships created momentum, opened doors, and turned a last-minute challenge into one of the best nights of Boston Tech Week.
