TUGG’s Continued Mission to Give Back

TUGG (Tech Underwriting Greater Good) leaves a continuing impact on the Boston tech sector, but how did it get there? I spoke with Mike Cole, Executive Director of TUGG, to talk about the organization's history, the successful events they hosted, and their plans for the future.

A Retrospective of Techstars Boston’s Decade of Success

Techstars Boston recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. I connected with Techstars Boston's Managing Director Clement Cazalot and Program Manager Jen Riedel to talk about the accelerator's history, success, and its effects on the Boston tech industry.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Lyft’s New England Business Operations

One of the regions where Lyft has become apparent is the Boston area. And much of the business increase can be attributed to the Lyft New England team, led by its General Manager Tyler George.

Hartford’s Fortune - The Capital City of Connecticut’s Ongoing Journey to Becoming a Tech Hub

Take a trip a few hours below Boston, and you will arrive in Hartford, Connecticut, where you may realize that there is an entrepreneurial tech scene that is not only scaling but prospering.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune – The 10th Anniversary

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and the rest of the series as a whole, embodies Naughty Dog’s spirit of consistency. Many of their games have an underlying development theme of “not doing anything new, but rather doing everything right.” In the same way, Indiana Jones was a celebration of adventure film serials and tropes, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune celebrates the same tropes but within action video games. The game does not do anything truly new or revolutionary, but rather sets out to entertain.

The Ins-and-Outs of the DCU FinTech Innovation Center

The DCU FinTech Innovation Center is one of the premier FinTech accelerators in Boston, but their overall goal is one that affects the ecosystem in a positive way. I spoke with the accelerator's Managing Director Vasilios Roussos to talk about the accelerator's mission. In addition to that, I also spoke with three startups currently in the Center and learned about their experiences.
