I'm excited that Chris Wysopal is joining our board at Humanyze. I first met Chris at an MIT angels event last year, soon after he had sold Veracode to CA Technologies for $614M (one of Boston's largest enterprise software exits in the past couple years)....
The incredibly successful Dropbox IPO changed many narratives, chief among them that Dropbox was greatly overvalued. I have tremendous respect for Drew's resilience and leadership over the past 2-3 years in the face of skepticism and real challenges. It annoys me greatly that Boston missed out....
Today, Romulus turns 9! That means we’re entering our 10th year of existence. I want to make this year count. I want to crush it, I want our results to speak louder than our words, I want it to be a year-long celebration of hard...
I turned 30 a month ago, and I celebrated by spending a week in Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, where I had a chance to reflect on two of my most precious values. We had dinner that evening on the terrace restaurant of the...

I came to MIT to start a company. I chose the school for its unparalleled combination of intellectual rigor and real-world pragmatism. The first startup I got involved in, however, had nothing intellectual about it, nor was it solving any real problem. What this cushion...
