I love myself some startup milestones. This week we’re not just celebrating startups from Boston, but from Nashville and Stockholm as well.
The purpose of this series, Celebrate Startup Milestones, is to celebrate all of the accomplishments a startup experiences during their journey, not just funding or an exit. This could be anything from landing your first big news story...to launching a beta of a new feature...to landing a new partnership...and everything in between.
If your startup hit a milestone that you’d like the world to know, then please click here and tell us today!
Now, on to celebrate some amazing companies.
