It's a pleasure to kick off #BosTechWeek with remarks from none other than Boston @mayorwu! She shared 3 reasons why Boston is special:
1) Boston is in it to change the world
2) We are in it to ensure that Boston can be a home for everyone
3) We are in it to win it!

👏🏻We're excited to share that we invested in the "open source Firebase alternative," @appwrite_io. As mentioned in the article, we backed Firebase early on, "so it seems somewhat fitting that Flybridge is now investing in Appwrite too eight years later." venturebeat.com/2021/09/28/o…
