Being an industrial designer, I love Jason’s focus on this area of the creative economy. How many people know that one of the largest and most successful design firms in the world is in Boston? Continuum’s main office is right on the Mass Pike in Newton (they have a slick silver sign visible from the highway on the side of their brick loft building). Since its 1984 founding, Continuum has also spawned many successful offspring in the product development and design strategy consulting spaces. (Manta, Altitude, and ELEVEN come to mind quickly.) (Full disclosure: I worked there for five years when we were still tadpoles.)

And yes Wade, Jason does seem to get around. I met Jason last week at the MTLC UnConference and he impressed me with his energy and vision. I am wishing him well and willing to help him succeed in this role in any way I can.

I am glad there is actual organized and concerted effort to “re-start” the tech startup environment in Boston/RT 128 area – we need it.
The good news is (as I learned at the MTLC unConference last week) that we have plenty of pretty good startups around in MA.

Thanks,
