01 / Our beginning

A city.
A dog.
An idea that grew.

Read the full origin story ↗

Boston Made began in 2019 with dog wearables and accessories. Founder Nathanael Strickland’s GoldenDoodle, Boston, gave the business a name and a personal starting point. The city gave it a sense of place.

That beginning grew into a network of businesses and experiences: publishing and reading, research and software, websites for independent organizations, products for dogs, and tools for discovering the places around us.

The connection is the work: helping people find a story, build something useful, or take their next step.

This newsroom follows that work as it develops. For the company’s full background, story, frequently asked questions and support, visit our central information hub.

Boston Made

The company and the story

A family of media, technology, consumer and community brands, shaped by Boston and connected through shared ideas, services and storytelling.

From the company’s own page

What started in 2019 as Boston Made Pets, a small brand of dog wearables and accessories, grew into a multi-industry family of brands built on execution, technology and scale. Along the way it became something deeper: a living tribute to the city that shaped everything we believe about grit, leadership and legacy. Today Boston Made, Inc. is an independent company and the corporate home of a connected family of companies: media, technology, education, community and consumer brands that share one sign-in, one membership and one story. We still honor the city that inspired us, keeping the history of Boston alive through time, place and people. R

Spot Check

Making existing space findable

A community parking marketplace that helps drivers discover spaces and connects them with hosts who have driveways, garages or lots to share.

From the company’s own page

Spot Check is a community parking marketplace. Drivers find open driveway, garage, lot, street, covered and EV-charging spaces on a live map. Hosts turn an empty space into income. Park smarter. Move freely. In busy places, especially beach towns and event districts, drivers circle the block while private driveways and garages a few streets away sit empty. Spot Check puts those spaces on the map, with a status and an hourly price, so drivers can see what’s open before they arrive and hosts can earn from space they already have. See live driveway, garage, lot and EV spaces near you, with status and price per hour. Ask a question or send a book
