Dear Innovator,
We've got an awesome week ahead with a fantastic program from the Startup Boston Team. If you haven't grabbed a ticket already, you still have time. (Go ahead. Click the link. I'll wait.)
I also wanted to share MAINE Innovation Nights. The team from UpStart Maine did a fantastic job last week and I am pleased to report that the Bangor community did a BANG-up job of supporting their local entrepreneurs. Lots of social media love, a nice small group "attending" the hybrid event live (safely) and via Zoom, and lots of connections made. That's the way Innovation Nights rolls. If you are interested in checking it out, we streamed the presentations in via Facebook and you can still see the recording.
See below for some pictures from the event, held at the Bangor Challenger Center (hence the predominance of NASA and space themed stuff, including an ISS "simulator".) The event manager found standing on a chair a great way to get everyone's attention. (I remember doing that!) Congrats to everyone involved!
