Top Boston Startups to Watch in 2021, featuring Day Zero Diagnostics

The Boston startup ecosystem is one of the most active and thriving in the world, which also means that there are a lot of top startups in Boston. The total early-stage startup funding in the ecosystem dwarves the global average of $431 Million with a total of $3.9 Billion. The ecosystem is also worth almost ten times that of the average global ecosystem. This is influenced by the availability of startup funding and the quality of entrepreneurs that the ecosystem is able to attract.

It should also be noted that the actual funding amounts which are seen by Boston startups are much bigger than the global average, which is another contributor to their success. Local government policy, as well as national government policy for businesses, makes operations a lot easier in Boston.
