Super proud of our team today!

I'm excited to move my coverage and commentary about Massachusetts' innovation economy to MassLive Media Group this month, and work with new colleagues like Joshua Macht, Reinaldo Ramos, and Anne Brennan to cover the things that matter most here. This is third publication for which I've written a regular column covering startups, venture capital, research, and pillar companies in Massachusetts: Boston Magazine (Tech Talk): 1997-2000 The Boston Globe (@large / Entertainment 2.0 / Innovation Economy): 2000-2025 MassLive: 2025 — Onward! Announcement story by Dave Eisenstadter in the first comment. A few favorite pics below from over the years, mainly onstage interviews — 'cause those have photographers running around. Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak, Wayfair Co-Founder Niraj Shah, Celtics President Rich Gotham, PayPal and Palantir Co-Founder Peter Thiel, Patriots owner Bob Kraft, and Kim Janey, former Mayor of Boston. #journalism #businessnews #Massachusetts
