Massachusetts has no shortage of creators and innovators. We just need to back their ideas with the right opportunities and investments. That’s why @FCHWPO started @BostonXchange and teamed up with the @thejlhfund to launch an accelerator built for creators. Because they’ve always shown up for Boston, on and off the court. Had the opportunity to meet some of these incredible entrepreneurs last week. The talent and drive are here - and these founders are ready to hit the ground running.
