Boston's community for researchers and frontier startups. Small events and candid conversations with the scientists and founders working at the frontier of technology.
Research CornerWhat is Research Corner
A Boston-based community for researchers and frontier startups
Research Corner brings together postgraduate researchers, scientists, and founders working at the frontier of science and technology. Through small events and candid conversations, researchers get a closer look at what companies are working on and where their own work could lead.
Most researchers hear about the same handful of paths, including Big Tech or quantitative firms, while some of the most interesting work happens in smaller teams and emerging organizations.
