While we're crushed that @JulianCyr won't be able to make it, our hearts will go on... with @katielannan of @GBHNews!
See you tonight at @Shah_Foundation. 🌹

We stumbled onto some new #mapoli insights with our latest deep dive. Using @OCPFReports data, we mapped which candidates shared donors and used that to construct a network map and see what donors think are the real parties across the Commonwealth.

In the interest of making it easier for #mapoli professionals to access hearing transcripts and winning personal praise, all 2023 committee hearing transcripts are free to view - you don’t even need to make a free account (though there’s a lot more functionality if you do)
After being called "a doll that just made me look very impressive" when they used our app to search a committee transcript, we decided to make all #mapoli State House hearing transcripts from this session free to access for the next month.
Legislata retweeted
Looking for transcripts from Mass State House committee hearings? We have almost all from 2023 loaded and get most up within 30 minutes of the videos being loaded by the legislature. Full text searchability so you can find what was said about your issues more quickly.

And if we make it harder for bootstrapped founders, we increase the reliance on venture funding, which has severe problems around equity.
Legislata retweeted
But founders looking for, as @paulg called it, “ramen profitability”, Boston’s high costs of living raises the difficulty of reaching that threshold and reduces the runway from a fixed fundraising round

To set a baseline, we’re already the third- or fourth-best city for startups. But we’re much stronger in biotech than in consumer-focused software, which tends to have lower barriers to entry.
Legislata retweeted
In @CommonWealthMag I wrote about how Boston could be a much better place for startups if it tackled housing and childcare costs and made it easier to commute via public transit.
