Boston has long been one of the top startup ecosystems in the United States. With top universities and a legacy of innovation, the city is a great place to start and run a venture-backed business. TechCrunch Live is thrilled to host an event featuring local Boston investors and founders.
TC City Spotlight: Boston takes place in February 27 at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET and it is a free virtual event. We will have several panels and interviews that will highlight the opportunities and challenges facing the market. Investors will discuss the best way to raise capital from local businesses and discuss what type of startups are most likely to get funding. We’ll have founders who can talk to the other side: which investors founders should avoid and how best to attract and retain talent in Boston’s ultra-competitive market.
We need your help! Apply below:
