Boston Made

Every new hire across the Boston Made portfolio now goes through a structured onboarding program covering the company’s history, its family of brands, and the tools used to run them day to day.

The program was built to help new team members get up to speed quickly, whether they’re joining Fenway Web’s development team or Beacon Federal Partners’ contracting group.

Boston Made

Boston Made is rolling out a new virtual learning series designed to help entrepreneurs across the portfolio sharpen the skills that matter most: brand-building, digital marketing, and operations at scale.

The self-paced courses draw on lessons learned building and running the Boston Made family of brands, from web development at Fenway Web to fintech tools at BOSSTOX.

It’s part of a broader push to make the knowledge behind the portfolio’s growth accessible to the wider small-business community in Boston and beyond.

Weekly Wires. Personal Mission. Community Impact.

The Boston Made Newsroom is proud to announce the rollout of the newly refreshed Keep Up With Nate website — a living, evolving platform that will now publish new wires weekly, offering readers a consistent window into the work, values, and community-first mission of Nate Strickland.

More than a personal site, Keep Up With Nate functions as a narrative layer within the Boston Made ecosystem — blending entrepreneurship, nonprofit advocacy, and behind-the-scenes storytelling into a single, transparent feed. Each wire documents what’s being built, who’s being supported, and why the work matters.

A Platform Rooted in Giving Back

At the heart of the new rollout is a renewed emphasis on nonprofit support. Nate has long believed that real impact comes from service — not just funding causes, but actively building alongside them. Through Keep Up With Nate, these partnerships are no longer footnotes; they’re front and center.

“Whether through building websites, donating time, or using my platforms to amplify their mission, I’m committed to helping these groups grow, thrive, and touch more lives.”
