Boston Tech Week, done right.
We sponsored and attended four events this week alongside some of the best founders and funders in the room.
VC Reverse Pitch. NachoNacho Happy Hour. Agora's AI Mixer. Pitch Roast Live.
It was great meeting you!

AI dominated the conversation at #BostonTechWeek's The Investment Game.
Thanks to HubSpot for Startups and all the panelists. Proud to have CEO Matt Zarracina represent True Tickets. ποΈ @HubSpotStartups
Last week, MILL5 joined Boston Tech Week events, including DeviceTalks and InvoiceCloud-hosted sessions. We left energized by conversations across medtech, fintech, AI, and enterprise tech.
Thanks to everyone we connected with!

Boston Tech Week just wrapped and it was an AI fever dream. 600+ events, and the products on stage were wild. A thread 𧡠#BostonTechWeek
𧬠Just competed in the AIxBio Builder #Hackathon at #BostonTechWeek, organized by @AbsentiaLabs and @Ginkgo Datapoints.
The challenge: predict how cells respond to compounds they have never seen.
Ginkgo provided 2,282 Drug-seq transcriptomic profiles in THP-1 monocytes through the Virtual Cell Pharmacology Initiative (VCPI). Our task was to generalize expression predictions to 1,064 held-out compounds across 12,995 genes.
π¬ What I built:
A chemical similarity neighbor regression model. For each unseen compound, the model identifies the 25 most structurally similar training compounds using Morgan fingerprints and predicts expression as a similarity-weighted average. Every prediction is traceable to specific training compounds. 66 seconds, 13.8 million predictions.
β οΈ Three lessons from the trenches:
β VCPI stores concentrations in nM, not Β΅M. Filtering on 10.0 instead of 10000.0 silently returns zero compounds
β The metadata has two compound ID columns. Grouping by the wrong one gives you 5 compounds instead of 2,282
β Three releases produce 800M+ expression rows. Filter to scored genes before computing expression or your laptop runs out of memory
π‘ Takeaway:
This is the one of the pieces that we are now incorporating in our computational drug discovery pipeline. We can predict binding and drug-likeness, but predicting what a compound does to the cell is where translational confidence comes from. That is the layer I am now building into DrugSynthAI.

Great to meet with the teams that pushing AI-driven biology forward π€
Thank you to @FarhanKhodaee and the @AbsentiaLabs team for organizing, and to the @Ginkgo Bioworks Datapoints team for making VCPI data openly available under CC BY 4.0.

Huge thanks to the @MacPaw team for inviting me to be a panelist and breakout room leader during their Boston @Techweek_ events yesterday! What a wonderful group of people! #BostonTechWeek
One day, three events at Boston @Techweek_: scaling apps, AI adoption past the hype, and the real tradeoffs of on-device AI from building Eney.
Best part? The hardest questions came from the room, not the stage.
Thanks, Cambridge πΎ
Thanks Boston for the gorgeous weather and beautiful scenery. Had an amazing time at #BostonTechWeek and can't wait to see what #NYTechWeek has in store
Excited to hear Just Horizon Alliance Executive Director Janet Kang speak this afternoon at #bostontechweek!

What a phenomenal week at the #Google Cambridge Office for #BostonTechWeek! π¦
We had an incredible turnout, and the energy in the building was unmatched.β¨
Major highlights included:
- Google For Startups, Sprint: ADK 2.0 π€
- Healthcare & Life Sciences Summit π§¬π¬

Dev Log 6: Trying out experimental games from Lok Bros and other events at Boston Tech week #gamedev #indiegames #boston #bostontechweek
Day 3 of #BostonTechWeek. Easily the best day so far.
Deep Tech Pitch Competition by 2048 and Boost VC was interesting. Heard pitches about creating fuel that doesn't change phases to create space gas stations to using physical neurons for energy and sample efficient compute.
Physical AI Fellowship Happy Hour by MassRobotics, however, was easily the best event I went to all week. The room was packed with robotics founders. Every conversation was really interesting. ALWAYS go where the builders go for the best convos!
Shoutout to @MassRobotics for organizing a great event.
just hosted Boston @Techweek_βs first sports hackathon

Cambridge has MIT and the Media Lab. Somerville has Boston Dynamics. Allston has Harvard. Kendall Square has more robotics startups per square foot than anywhere on Earth. And this week, itβs all on display at #BostonTechWeek
We donβt just do booths, we do moments.
Boston - excited to be in town celebrating the first-ever #BostonTechWeek.
Pull up to the @brexHQ Pit Stop tomorrow to check out the Brex cah in person.
Thanks @c10labs for inviting us to speak on corporate venture capital at a kickoff event for #BostonTechWeek. Key takeaway: the right CVC partners add value beyond funding, incl commercial growth and product dev. Corporate accelerators are often a good entry point.
Happy #BostonTechWeek everyone πβ‘ BostonTech week AI, energy, manufacturing, etc,, That means Africa is becoming increasingly connected to the future of global technology
