Submit Your Product to Mass Innovation Nights

Our mission is to help local entrepreneurs get more visibility for their new products. We want to connect members of the local innovation community. It all started in April 2009 as Mass Innovation Nights (MIN) with a website and a monthly event designed to help local innovators increase the buzz around new products and companies. Every month ten companies bring new products to the event and the social media community turns out to blog, tweet, post pictures and video, add product mentions to LinkedIn and Facebook statuses, and otherwise help spread the word. Startup founders can sign up for free to exhibit and present at a monthly event. Learn more and submit your product
