"Let us know how this went, Matt. Meantime, thought this would be of interest... http://bostinno.com/2013/03/29..." - Mike Troiano

"Look forward to hearing what's next, Aaron. Great job getting Boundless to escape velocity, and leaving at the right time and in the right way." - Mike Troiano

"I graduated from HBS in 1994. I'm working with a group of incredibly smart people, building the next great enterprise technology brand just outside Boston. I'm here because there's no more supportive startup community than the one right here right now, no city in America with a better mix of what makes life fun and what makes life matter, and no better place on Earth to raise a family, period. The truth is I don't think we suffer much at all from a dearth of fellow HBS grads, in part because enough of the ones who leave to chase what seem like shinier objects elsewhere come back, just like I did, when it's time to play for keeps." - Mike Troiano

"When it comes to talent, Boston and Cambridge don't really have a recruiting problem, like most cities do. They have a *retention* problem... the problem of keeping all the great (especially) technical and scientific talent produced by our Universities to stay here once they graduate. How might the city encourage these people to stick around? The local commercial interests need to do better here, of course. But what incentives might the city offer to graduates - especially of masters and PhD programs - to get them to stay? Discounted housing, as Ryan points out, would be huge. How about help navigating the system federal immigration and work requirements? Parking discounts? Access to services? I don't really know the answer, but it seems more thought should be put into the question of how to keep more world class talent in and around Boston. Good luck with this, I think it's great." - Mike Troiano

"I feel a little better, thanks. Still a loss for Boston, I wish all you guys the best in finding a new paying gig." - Mike Troiano

"Great to have you guys on board! Welcome." - Mike Troiano

"One of the all-time greats. Bravo." - Mike Troiano

"Nice piece in the journal, love this model. Tricky to execute, but you guys are well positioned. Good luck with it." - Mike Troiano

"Love it! Born Global, baby." - Mike Troiano

"Those are indeed other words, not my words. If you pay for procedures, you get more of them. That's why costs are out of control. If you pay for outcomes, the market will find ways to create outcomes more cost effectively... hardly a "liberal" idea." - Mike Troiano

"You missed a bigee... payment reform in the healthcare system, to focus on outcomes rather than procedures. That could be the key to curbing entitlement growth, which is the key to saving our economy over the long run." - Mike Troiano

"You're angry at the package for being attractive, and - even more strange - at the product for what's on the package. The very next slide after the more provocative expression of their position is this: "We look for breakthrough ideas from entrepreneurs brilliant enough to come up with them and the courage to build the resulting business." That's what the presentation is about, and I KNOW you agree with that thesis. A presentation that just said that - with no accompanying narrative, nothing to grab the attention of the user, and zero entertainment value along the way - would be dramatically less effective at communicating what I believe is a powerful insight, from people in a position to know. A powerful idea, packaged for consumption, equals a "great" deck, in my humble opinion." - Mike Troiano

"I'm sensing you're not a fan." - Mike Troiano

"That is incorrect. Although there was some confusion in the early reporting, the Bushmaster was used in the shooting. Here's the police report: http://www.ct.gov/despp/cwp/vi..." - Mike Troiano

"I'd call this solid. Good execution of the high-end fundamentals (Federal Hill Style Calamari, Sunday Gravy, Squid Ink Risotto with Scallops...), but nothing truly Babbo-new to make you rethink the…" - Mike Troiano

"Good service, food was good but not otherworldly, room is a Boston 8 but a Vegas 5. In an off-the-path location, not really worth the trek." - Mike Troiano

"And only an ass would be more concerned about the classification of these weapons than the fact that - whatever you call them - they were used to fill a room full of first graders with bullets." - Mike Troiano

"The model is broken, Wade. Turns out empowering the whole world to push what they want at us with no variable cost was a bad idea. Hence, social media...http://bostinno.com/channel......" - Mike Troiano

"Far exceeds expectations for a suburban strip mall joint. Cocktails are excellent, bar menu staples are solid. Bar itself is great, and the owner was present, friendly, and gracious. We'll be back." - Mike Troiano

"Thanks, Ingo. And thanks for stopping by." - Mike Troiano

"Sounds a lot CMOs :). Great insights, Brian, thanks for sharing." - Mike Troiano
