Lunch Beat Boston #4

Last week, we were excited to host Lunch Beat Boston #4 — a lunchtime dance party for entrepreneurs! We had a full live DJ set by Jay Batson [@jab], lights, projections…all the ingredients for hard-working innovators to let their hair down and shake it for an hour in the middle of the day.
In this great writeup in the Boston Globe, our friend Callum Borchers had a great description: a power lunch for the 21st century economy.
“It’s lunch time in the Innovation District, so of course it’s time to paper over the windows, hang the strobe lights, and crank up the music.
Welcome to the new power lunch in Boston, about as far as you can get from the cushy banquettes of the downtown dining salons, where a buttoned-down waiter recommends the baked scrod and two guys in suits discuss weekend golf.
Instead, Lunch Beat Boston style is an amped-up dance hour, where the Seaport’s District Hall is turned into a darkened disco, and techies groove to thumping electronica so loud that networking becomes, by necessity, a wordless bounce to the beat with your neighbor.”
Big thank you to Lunch Beat Boston, and to their sponsors, Acquia and North Bridge, for making this happen!

Quick backstory: The first ever Lunch Beat took place in a garage in Sweden, and now the lunchtime dance party phenomenon has spread all over the world.
