When you think of the nation’s startup hubs, you simply can’t overlook Boston. Some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities fuel innovation and recruitment in Beantown, making it a hotspot for startup culture. As one Harvard graduate writes, Boston has all the ingredients you need for startup success — from a robust investor network to influential companies like HubSpot and Wayfair that support the startup ecosystem. If you call Boston home for your startup, you’ll be in excellent company.
And while you might work from home in the initial startup stages, you may eventually need a dedicated office space to expand your empire. Rather than pour money into a traditional office, why not consider affordable coworking spaces instead?
With the right coworking space in Boston, you’ll have a creative working environment to let your ideas take root and grow into a thriving business. You get all the benefits of private offices plus the perks of a supportive coworking community and loads of amenities.
