We are very proud to announce that we have teamed up with Microsoft N.E.R.D. to provide a new set of badges for you Boston startup and tech people! By pinning articles from the Boston Start-up topic, you will earn badges for varying levels attendance to the cool startup events Microsoft NERD hosts for Boston innovators every week.
I mean, who wouldn’t want an excuse to be 11 stories high, right on the Charles, looking at the best view of the Boston skyline? Not to mention N.E.R.D.’s technical evangelist Gus Weber knows how to host these events – cash bar, foosball and pingpong tables, a sideroom for Rockband, and the Microsoft Surface (and of course a different focus at each event) help draw a fresh crowd every time.
Check out a little preview below of the badges and then jump in and start Pinning to get yours! Who knows, maybe you even have what it takes to be a “Maven” of Boston Start-ups on Pinyadda… Um, holler.
