Community Development
Community Development at East Coast Catalyst
Located in the heart of Boston’s innovation district, East Coast Catalyst has made it part of its mission to be involved in the community.
Because we have been here since the mid 90’s, we have seen the evolution of the neighborhood. From a tech meetup at a coworking space to an art exhibition opening, to the launch of a new start-up or a special chef’s event at a local restaurant, the Innovation District is expanding quickly.
Throughout the years, East Coast Catalyst has become involved in various organizations that foster the development of community and allow us to become more in touch and connect with all different types of people. We like to think our name reflects our core philosophy: we balance East Coast analytical rigor with a focus on moving fast to Catalyze our clients’ businesses.
