Boston, MA (October 15, 2009) – OfficeDrop, an online document management and document scanning service for small businesses, attended the Massachusetts State Legislature hosted Innovation Day at the State House. The event presented a unique opportunity for Massachusetts-based technology companies to showcase their contributions in technological innovation as well as for the legislative body and staff to see how this innovation is relevant for economic growth in the Commonwealth. The event was sponsored by Senator Karen Spilka, Rep. Brian Dempsey and Rep. Michael Rodrigues and the New England Venture Capital Association.
OfficeDrop was one of a select group of technology companies invited to participate at the event. Started only two years ago, OfficeDrop garnered a large amount of interest as a prime example of both technological innovation in the Boston area, and as a “real labor” employer with aggressive expansion plans over the next 12 months. Also of interest to the legislators and staff was OfficeDrop’s work with Boston-area public schools like Belmont Public, with whom OfficeDrop has been working to streamline files and paperwork , making access to student information more efficient and cost-effective.
The event centered around a panel discussion moderated by Scott Kirsner of The Boston Globe, in which Massachusetts technology company CEOs and venture capitalists discussed the impact of policy issues on venture capital as well as the importance of continued technological innovation that helps drive the Commonwealth’s economic growth. Other technology companies in attendance included shoebuy.com, Harmonix, Cloudswitch, Aspen Aerogels and iRobot. Topis discussed included the difficulties of starting a company in Massachusetts, the unique advantages of the region and the excitement felt by the CEOs who were aggressively growing despite the tough economic environment.
