More than 3,400 people in the Boston startup ecosystem registered for more than 70 sessions during the week of Sept. 20, 2021

BOSTON, MA, USA, November 3, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Startup Boston, an organization offering events for the development and celebration of the entrepreneurs, startup employees, investors, and mentors who push boundaries and solve tough problems, today announced that it has released on-demand videos from the more than 70 sessions during Startup Boston Week, September 20-24, 2021. The videos are available to everyone and can be accessed here.

More than 3,400 people registered for this year’s Startup Boston Week and over 1,600 attended the event. The event featured 276 speakers and 72 sessions over the course of the week. More than 50 percent of the speakers were women and nearly 50 percent were Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC).

“We are really excited to share the on-demand videos with the startup community and give them an opportunity to see speakers and content that they were unable to see during Startup Boston Week,” Stephanie Roulic, Founder and CEO of Startup Boston, said. “In addition to assembling the best, brightest, and most successful people in Boston’s startup ecosystem, this year we also awarded our first Community Awards. It’s an exciting time in the Boston startup community and we are thrilled to be playing an active role in its growth.”

The three top attended sessions were Shared Cent-iments: Bootstrapping and Crowdfunding, Workforce Source: How to Scale from 10 to 100 Employees When You are Too Busy to Hire, and I Did it My Way: Should You Go Solo as a Founder?
