The Venture Forum

Sharing tales of entrepreneurship from the heart of Massachusetts

About the show

The Venture Forum, hosted by Executive Director Mark Reed-Edwards, is dedicated to connecting entrepreneurs with the ingredients they need to bring their ideas to life while growing, thriving, and staying in Central Massachusetts. Mark asks a different entrepreneur every week to share their tale about their journey and what makes Central Massachusetts special.

Prior to launching his own firm in 2010, Mark worked for a number of global technology companies in marketing and communications. Mark started his career in broadcasting—as a producer and writer for legendary media figure Dick Clark at a New York-based radio network and running leading radio stations in New York state.
