Students visiting Twitter Office in Cambridge, MA

TechTrek@Shea Goes to Cambridge Twitter and Accomplice Ventures to Kick Off the Fall Semester

Last year, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and global business incubator 1776 ranked Boston #1 on their list of best startup hubs, above New York, San Francisco and even Silicon Valley. The reason: the city’s “clear emphasis on next-generation tech companies specializing in education, energy and healthcare industries.” This fall, 25 BC students paid a visit to two of the companies leading Boston’s charge to foster innovation: social media giant Twitter and early-stage tech VC firm, Accomplice Ventures.
