Built live from the calendar, so this is genuinely close to what lands.

What you get

A shortlist, not a digest.

The calendar already lists everything. The email is the opposite of that — only what is worth going to, with a line on the ones that need explaining. Some weeks that is three things. The week Startup Boston Week opens, it is a lot more. We would rather the number moved than pad a quiet week or cut something good from a full one.

The ones that sell out, before they sell out.

Demo days, the good dinners and anything with a capped room fill quietly and early. A week’s notice is enough to get a seat.

The weeks worth planning for.

Startup Boston Week, Boston Fintech Week, Boston AI Week, Tough Tech Week. We flag them far enough ahead that you can clear the diary rather than find out on the Friday.

First refusal on our own rooms.

We run a monthly dinner — sixteen seats, one host, no pitching — and happy hours that are free and open. Subscribers hear first, which for the dinners is the only way in.

Who reads it

Founders, operators and engineers in Boston and Cambridge — people deciding where a weeknight is best spent. If you are new to the city, it is the fastest way in: three months of this and you will know where the rooms are and who is in them.
