OpenView Venture Partners Surpasses More than $100 Million in Investment in Boston Area Companies, Affirming its Commitment to the Region’s Innovation Economy

“Boston has long been a hub for innovation,” said Scott Maxwell, OpenView’s Founder, an MIT graduate. “We’re thrilled to support entrepreneurship in and around the region and look forward to continuing to uphold the city’s reputation as a center for leadership in the technology sector.”

Recently, Massachusetts was named the most innovative state in America by Bloomberg and spends more than any region in the world on research and development. GE’s move to relocate their global headquarters to Boston, specifically the tech-centric Seaport District, is only set to further accelerate the innovation produced by and success of Boston’s startup community.

In addition to OpenView’s deep ties to Boston’s entrepreneurial community, the firm invests heavily in closing the talent gap in tech both in Boston and across the US. Community efforts and involvement with local organizations like Startup Institute,Resilient Coders and BUILD help to support that initiative. OpenView is also actively involved in Boston area philanthropic organizations including Habitat for Humanity, the Anti-Defamation League, Greater Boston Food Bank, Boston Marathon Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters and more.
