A misty March morning was the beginning of the G2 transformation. It’s been a 2 year haul with growth spurts along the way, and we’ve finally reached maximum capacity.  Out growing our old space and with a vast city of office options, the G2 Team had quite the decision to make, “should [we] stay or should [we] go now?” (the Clash, anyone?)

Over the past two years, the Fort Point Channel has truly become a part of our identity, the entrepreneurial spirit, the community of passionate companies that share the same commitment to excellence, like Drink, and  Flour.  Organizations like Mass Challenge who are practically across the street are supporting early-stage entrepreneurs, providing them with shared office space, educational opportunities and other resources they need to launch high-growth, high-impact businesses immediately.  We’re still not quite sure how/when this community really began to take off.  Perhaps it began with Mayor Menino deeming of this neighborhood as the Innovation District or if organizations like the Friends of the Fort Point Channel who have been fostering this community or maybe it started with the artists back in the 1970s.  We don’t know, when the shift really occurred but the energy out here has really been mounting at exponential levels.

Could there be a more exciting place for an up and coming company? We think not. Not only do we have our own music venue (Bank of America Pavillion) and the best local bar in town (Lucky’s), but  we also have a brewery (Harpoon). Heck there was even an article in the Globe naming the hood “Geekville”… umm hello? Could this place be more G2?  So when we realized that the move was necessary, we opted to move to the next block.

That misty morning in late March, the G2 Team assembled and set out to make the great move, hauling all our computers, desks and razor scooters to our new location a whole block away.  After two years of stomping around the Fort Point Channel, we weren’t about to bail.
