From the Seaport to the Fenway, MassChallenge is preparing for its next chapter in Boston. In a new @BostonGlobe story, @jonchesto explores our move to the Fenway, our role in shaping the Seaport's Innovation District, and what it means to leave the neighborhood where we got our start. The story also looks at our partnership with Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., how MassChallenge has evolved since 2009, and CEO Cait Brumme's vision to double our reach by 2030. As Chief of Staff Robby Bitting tells the Globe, Boston's momentum is undeniable, and we're looking forward to contributing to what's happening in the Fenway. Thanks to Jon for telling the story. 🔗bostonglobe.com/2026/10/26/b… via @BostonGlobe #MassChallenge #BostonInnovation #Startups
