Sheila Connolly had a dream. Her love of politics was going to propel her through undergrad, onto law school, and across the Atlantic Ocean into a career as an international human rights lawyer at the Hague.

Hi Marley is “communication software for insurance companies” or, in their parlance, “simple, lovable communication”. You can imagine the daily problems that insurance companies face.

Founder Andrew Lau eloquently explains how Jellyfish is building a way to make engineering more measurable in a video on their website’s About Us page.
I’m really excited you’re here. MGMT Boston is a project I’ve been working on for a few months but thinking about for much longer. Some of the details have shifted but the core focus has always been the same – what’s the best way to highlight the operating leaders who help startups grow? If Founders, Executives, and Investors are the atomic units of a startup ecosystem I’ve always felt that an equally fundamental ingredient is strong operating leadership. That’s what returns capital to shareholders and grows ecosystems.
