I did a bunch of analysis of the AI 50 produced by Fortune this year (not perfect, but vaguely right). Of the 50 companies listed, 2 are Boston (actually Cambridge), Suno and OpenEvidence. OpenEvidence is headquartered in Miami. So, 1 out of 50 is actually in Greater Boston. Thank you @MikeyShulman! 17 of the 50 top ai companies have founders that went to school in Boston. The average age of those 17 founders was 28.5 years old when they started the company. We need to make Boston a great place to start a company. We need to make Boston an extremely attractive place for new grads to put down roots. There is a lot to like about Boston! A bunch of us are getting together on Wednesday night to talk about it. This is a problem worth solving. Lets continue discussing, debating, and engaging on how to improve the region. I'd like to see some of the elected officials who are DM'g me weigh in here.
