Software as a service and life science startups completing prototypes, and seeking early customers and investments, are welcome to apply to become a member of the Venture Development Center. We are very selective, accepting only five new companies each year.

As a member of the Venture Development Center, you will:

  • Connect one-to-one with top-tier entrepreneurs and investors from the Boston startup community.
  • Consult daily on the burning issues you face with a seasoned, successful entrepreneur-in-residence.
  • Obtain higher quality and better equipped facilities, yet save thousands of dollars in startup costs.
  • Gain a cheerful, supportive staff that handles business operations, so you can focus on launching your business.
  • Engage talented and experienced, but inexpensive interns to free you to execute more strategic tasks.
  • Launch with a group of experienced founders building technology-driven businesses that really matter.
