A Guide to Boston Startups

In the past, Boston has been an underestimated player in the startup scene. However, it recently ranked first among the top 25 startup hubs in America, according to a report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and startup incubator 1776. The findings are based on talent, specialization, capital, density, connectivity, and cultural statistics, among other data.

Not only is the city of Boston a startup hub, next-door neighbor Cambridge is thriving, thanks in part to the plethora of world-class universities located nearby. Facebook and Microsoft are just two of the most famous examples to come from the intellectual capital of the United States. That's one of the reasons tech leaders are taking notice of the area's impressive growth. Companies like Amazon and Twitter have opened headquarters on the East Coast or established offices in Boston.

In addition to high quality of life ratings and a welcoming regulatory environment for startups, Boston has a lot to offer. Because of critical factors like a collaborative community and innovative business concepts, its growth as a startup hub is expected to continue. There are many elements that make Boston an ideal place for entrepreneurs and startups.

Here are just a few.

Two Tools That Will Reinvent Your Phone Experience

These Two Tools Will Reinvent Your Phone Experience

Running a small business means trying to stand out in a landscape that's more competitive than ever, making use of limited resources and likely wearing multiple hats at once. Every dollar counts, which often necessitates foregoing helpful tools in the name of cutting costs - like a business phone system. While useful in many ways, they're also expensive and not always suitable for teams whose members work remotely or travel often.

There's a fairly simple alternative: Forget a phone system. Just use your cell phones! Everyone has one, they're great, who needs anything else. Right? It's certainly an option, but one that comes with disadvantages, and thanks to new technology, there's no longer any need to settle. Enter the cloud phone system.
