First week, meeting people in the Boston area.
It’s been two weeks in Boston working on the startup and we are beginning to have a routine. As part of this I am going to make an effort to post weekly (ish) about what we are doing so that when all is said and done I have an entertaining log of the process.
This week Andrew and I met up with the founders of Pandemic Labs, a startup that began in the same town that I am from. They have been at this for much longer than we have so it was extremely helpful to hear what they had to say. This was an extremely encouraging meetup for me because I got to see people who had been doing this for awhile and were still passionate and happy about it.
On the topic of meetups, Andrew and I have been looking into all of the Boston area networking events that we think will be helpful for us. We have found a lot of results by searching on meetup.com. There is at least one event every week and they are all low cost which is important. The Pandemic Labs founders also recommended that we check out MITX which sounds like a very valuable resource. Finally, we are also expecting to get a lot of value out of SCORE because their name comes up a lot when talking to veterans of the startup game.
So it’s still too early to really tell anything, but the energy is good and we are moving in what feels like the right direction!
