Boston is an underrated startup scene. I've only been getting involved recently and it's amazing how many quality tech businesses don't make it to HN, especially ones out of MIT or ones started by older professionals (often with phds, etc)

They don't make it to techcrunch but they have really, really smart people working for them and are tackling wicked hahd problems.

BTW tried to follow you on twitter but blocked? haha. no offense taken just wondering why
