Last night's Survivor-themed #NEVY Awards did not disappoint. The tribe has spoken and @HiMarleyInc is Boston's Hottest Startup! 🔥 Congrats to all the incredible nominees, including Underscore-backed @HeraldAPI. The team has never had so much fun at a tribal council meeting!

Can you send a picture of your dog so that I can cleanse my timeline today? Thank You.

Ready to relive the magic of #CoreSummit?! We've got you covered. 📽

At @UnderscoreVC, we take our work seriously, but not ourselves. And, let me tell you, it makes all the difference. I remain convinced that fun and success are positively correlated. Some of my favorite photos from yesterday's #CoreSummit!

#CoreSummit 2024 was one for the books - It was full of connection, learning, and fun! But, we expected nothing less from gathering such an extraordinary group together. If you joined us, we hope you'll share how the experience went for you! As always, we love your feedback.

@alex @IndianaFever Congratulations! I hope everyone is doing well.

Still at hospital, holding lil Octavia, @IndianaFever on the laptop, spouse comfy and recovering. Life is good. Even got to go home and do the evening routine with Ada. :)

32 days until #CoreSummit 2024! But who is counting? 🙋‍♀️ Ok, ok, it's 32 days, 17 hours, 8 minutes, and 53 seconds to be exact. And the excitement is building. I know I say that it's going to be "the best one yet" every year, but this one *really* will be.

Introducing Logan Pearce Cegan 💛

Last night we launched Fund 3 properly alongside our Core Community of incredible founders, business builders, and limited partners that have made it all possible! 🎉 And, of course, there were some tacos and tequila in the mix! 🌮 This community is just heating up. 🔥

Did ⁦@c2montreal⁩’s opening have me wondering if I was joining a cult? Yes. BUT it was a wonderful reminder of how critical it is to step outside your comfort zone & industry to gain a fresh prospective. As I love to say: It takes something different to make a difference

Still buzzing from the #VCPlatformSummit in Miami 🌴 We're fortunate to have the @VCPlatform community working collectively to super-charge how our profession serves founders.

Today's @TechCrunch Early Stage event was packed with learnings and startup talent! 💚 We're grateful to have taken part, as we met so many wonderful founders. 📸 Underscore Partner @lilylyman took to the stage to brake down how to build fruitful relationships with investors.

@alex 👋 hi!! hope to see you around!

hello from Early Stage

Greetings from TechCrunch Early Stage! If you see these two in their colorful fits, I highly recommend you ask a question or tell them what they’re building. They’re the bedrock of Boston’s startup scene @lilylyman @rudina11
