I really loved this event. Sometimes tech events tend to lean a little more technical, discussing product market fit and frameworks. While I find those to be incredibly valuable, this chat hit me right in the feels. Kristy Muir spoke about a deeply personal experience that pushed her into entrepreneurship. She talked about how many of us don’t think big enough for our startups, and how reluctant we can be to demand more from our own ideas and ambitions. And finally she reminded us that being a failed founder doesn’t make you a failure, and every lesson redirects you toward something more significant. My biggest takeaway? Keep showing up, keep putting in the work. Even when you face rejection from investors, those same voices often come back around when they see you haven’t lost sight of your vision. Finally, building a startup isn’t about the tech or the traction alone – it’s the network of relationships that ground it. Thanks Tyler Jennings for another great event! Stoked for Boost 24 🙌

Thursday has always been special in the startup world: Lots of events, and typically a lot of work has been done, there’s a certain vibe that’s hard to describe. Over the past few months however I’ve come to appreciate Thursdays for a completely different reason: Boston New Technology’s Precision Pitch Practice. The model is simple, effective, and the results have been hugely successful: The reasons why: 1.) It’s a free resource offered weekly at 12PM EDT 2.) Introduce yourself and answer two questions: Are you giving a 1 or 5 minute pitch? Can you define your target audience? 3.) Great mentorship and great management by the BNT crew. Katelyn is an excellent example of a founder who’s flourished. At this point she’s in a position to teach and we appreciate her deeply. More plans are in the works for the program — its an investment BNT is extremely proud of and grateful to the community for trying out. Come give Precision Pitch Practice a try today: https://lnkd.in/ed8u2SjD Image Credit: Kevin Thai, Three Circles Studio Venue: Venture Lane | Startup Hub, Kristina Gomez
