What will you build when you have the freedom to build what matters? Incredible things are happening in Boston—in labs, warehouses, and basements. The weird and the serious are moving fast. The window is open. We're helping kick off the Massachusetts AI Coalition with a launch https://t.co/WCdczjhvPV

There’s been a lot of talk about whether Boston is still a great place to build (we're bullish) — but talk doesn’t build companies. We’re moving into 30k+ sq ft this fall. How should we use it to actually help founders? Ideas welcome.
