"The lab will seek to foster super-early-stage entrepreneurship in areas where Boston currently has strong start-up track records -- such as software-as-a-service, cloud computing, biotech, and enertech. [Enertech is Metcalfe’s term for cleantech or energy-related ventures.] But additionally, the labs will also foster efforts in social media, e-commerce and the consumer Internet, where Polaris has been highly active in other markets."
-Interesting take on Boston area startup strengths.
- something 17y agointeresting take on new incubation concept.
- fjabre 17y agoIndeed =)
- tomjen2 17y agoI hope it is taken further. There is really no reason for each and every startup to go out and find living space, internet connections, cook food, clean, etc. themselves; rather such things are rather cheap if they are brought by a company. What I hope this will end up with is that some investor gets an old apartment house, then offers these things for free to the companies they end up investing in. That would be very interesting and useful.
