Great weather for golfing for a good cause
Chad Keyworth is now our official VFP Turtle Wrangler.
Good Friends, Good Food, Good Fun at our Summer Outing at Beautiful Outlook Farm in Natick.
A beautiful sailboat + perfect weather + great company and food = one spectacular day on the water.
The team had a lot of fun and were surprisingly good at Axe Throwing! (Who knew they had such talents?)
Good cheer was abundant at our Holiday Party with our very own (and very jovial) Santa. (Thanks, Anna!)

The incredible team at Venture Forward enabled us to quickly and efficiently set up temporary space for our new biotech, while designing our permanent space. From lab design to complete project management and relocation support, the VF team delivered on all fronts. Our state of the art (world class) labs were fully operational within a month of our move. Chad, Gino and their teams are dedicated, knowledgeable and simply fun to work with.
