Boston, MA – January 12, 2026 – WHOOP, the human performance company, today announced the formation of the Massachusetts AI Coalition; a group of leading technology, manufacturing, healthcare, consumer and industrial companies and investors headquartered or with significant presence across the Commonwealth. The coalition is a first-of-its-kind, company-led initiative designed to strengthen collaboration, accelerate real-world AI adoption, and reinforce Massachusetts as a global leader in artificial intelligence. In addition to this, the group aims to enable company growth and encourage others to set up in Massachusetts.
The coalition spans early-stage startups to global public companies, including WHOOP, Suno, Lovable, DraftKings, Wayfair, HubSpot, Klaviyo, Circle,Hi Marley, Blitzy, Phoenix Tailings, Duckbill, Jellyfish, Formlabs, Agency Inc, and 7AI – spanning early-stage startups to global public companies.
The coalition is grounded in a shared belief that AI will transform every major industry – including healthcare, education, robotics, biotech and life sciences, defense and aerospace and energy – and that Massachusetts is uniquely positioned to lead that transformation given its concentration of talent, research institutions, and innovative companies.
As Founding Chair, WHOOP will help guide the coalition’s initial direction, convening members around shared priorities while preserving the coalition’s open, collaborative, and multi-company structure.
