Wednesday, December 30, 2015
The 2015 Central Massachusetts Company of the year is "The Startup." The small spinoffs and big idea, but little capital tech, medical, biomedical and all others that are beginning to organically grow and transform Worcester and Central Massachusetts.
In many ways, these startups are more pure than their venture capital backed brother is Boston located in the CIC complex or spewed throughout Boston and Cambridge. Worcester startups are truly about the IDEA, the TECHNOLOGY, and the TEAM.
The partnership between Worcester Chamber, Venture Forum and Running Start (Running Start is not the only shared tech space - see Technocopia is now beginning to build momentum - the partnership serves as a launching pad for ideas.
As GoLocalWorcester reported in May, the first class of what is called “StartUp Worcester” when it announced its 12 winners and those start ups come from five Worcester college campuses and include three digital game developers, a real estate developer, a hydronics company, and technology companies focusing on city engagement, fitness and transportation and a fashion blog/consultant.
But this partnership is only one component of the startup community beginning to emerge in Central Mass.
Independent and Organic

The Central Massachusetts start up is what is fueling the economic recovery and the recreation of the industrial economy.
The companies range from start up like Fitivity to Acoustic Stream to biopharmaceutical startup Nemucore Medical Innovations (who just closed a A round of financing).
Worcester’s future is being redefined by a group of entrepreneurs - young and old - with big ideas. For all of the above reasons - the "startup" is the Company of the Year in Central
