Results That Speak
MassChallenge has been incredible for us. It’s hard to be an entrepreneur, especially in climate, and the programming helped us see that we’re not the only ones in this. One of the main learnings I’ve gotten from this program is that impact and profitability are not mutually exclusive.
DAVID GORY
Founder and CEO at Airbuild
I wouldn’t just say this was something that I needed professionally, but on a personal level too. It’s about you as a person first. The people at MassChallenge and this community made me feel confident stepping into healthcare in a way I wasn’t before.
KYLE HENRY
CEO and Co-Founder, Tune Health
MassChallenge has been an incredible opportunity for us. It’s rare for a startup at our stage to work directly with enterprise partners. Through the program, we’ve been able to engage with enterprise users early on, understand their pain points, and build better solutions. Over the past few months, we’ve taken our product from prototype to production-ready, and without MassChallenge, this progress wouldn’t have been possible.

It takes a community to raise a startup. You can be deep in technology, but you need the network, the right advisors, and the right connections. That’s what MassChallenge brought, and it made something complex feel executable.
RICK WHITTAKER
CEO and CoFounder of AirShare
I am so excited for the networking we’ve gone through. Together it takes all of us to make the world a better place. If you’re looking for the networking and the connections and the people that will help you take your company to the next level, this is one of the most worthwhile programs.
