Resources

Practical resources for founders building and growing their companies in Massachusetts. As BIIG grows, we will continue to add additional resources.

Massachusetts State Resources

Massachusetts supports founders at every stage, from early-stage startups to established companies. Support includes funding, tax credits, hiring and training programs, and dedicated programs for life sciences, climate, and deep tech. The programs are strong but can be hard to find. Start with the tools below, and talk to a state contact who can help point you in the right direction.
