Dear Sir or Madam,

Visitors entering BostonMade.com are now directed to BostonMade.io, where Boston Made brings its brand directory, editorial guides and account destinations together. The redirect and public pages were checked on September 8, 2026.

Where to find what you need

The brand directory introduces the portfolio. The editorial section offers guides on brand building, publishing and individual ventures.

The Newsroom gateway links readers back to BostonMadeInc.com for news and stories. Account and membership management are directed to the Boston Made App.

A clearer starting point

For readers following several Boston Made brands, the hub provides a place to choose a destination before visiting an individual business. This update describes the currently available website; it does not establish a launch date for the redirect.

Company disclosure: This is a Boston Made company update, based on its own public website and newsroom pages as reviewed September 8, 2026.

Founder & CEO of Boston Made, Inc., a Boston-based media and business portfolio company. I lead Boston Made's independent, hyperlocal coverage of Boston's economy, businesses, and neighborhoods, alongside a growing portfolio of Boston-rooted brands — including Boston Made Pets, where my passion for dog wearables and canine wellness lives on. I’m an avid reader and journaler who believes in reporting that's closer to home.

Dear Sir or Madam,

ROAD TO THE ROCKETSHIP · Chapter 9

A roadmap is a promise you can be held to, so here it is in public.

Coming soon

  • Boston Made dog trackers. GPS trackers for dogs from the Boston Made Pets family. The Fenway the Pup storyline shows why: Chapter 2 is about a great escape.
  • The Boston Made Training Academy. Practical courses in OSHA safety, highway and work-zone safety, law-enforcement topics and neighborhood watch.
  • The restructuring desk from Chapter 6, with a free demo first.
  • The Grand Strand. GrandStrand.app, a social network for Grand Strand vacation properties, and Spot Check parking are leading a push into Myrtle Beach, including a look at valet service. Follow it in the Grand Strand Season storyline.

How to follow along

Every chapter of this storyline lands on the Reader’s Storylines page as soon as it’s published. If you want to be part of it rather than just watch, join free. When MasterPass referrals switch on, you can earn by bringing people with you.

Season one ends here. Season two begins when the next door opens.


ROAD TO THE ROCKETSHIP is the Boston Made Newsroom’s running story of how Boston Made, Inc. is building its ecosystem, told one chapter at a time. Previous: Ch. 8. Start over at Ch. 1.

Road to the Rocketship, Ch. 8: The Free Library Will Never Charge You

Inside the Boston Made Reader is a free library: complete public-domain books, free Bible and religious studies, and inclusion studies. It’s the one part of the ecosystem that will never ask for payment.

Road to the Rocketship, Ch. 8: The Free Library Will Never Charge You

Dear Sir or Madam,

ROAD TO THE ROCKETSHIP · Chapter 8

A company that wants to be trusted should give some things away for good.

The Boston Made Reader carries a promise on its homepage: it is a free literacy resource, “the one Boston Made address that will never ask you for payment.”

What’s on the shelves

  • Complete books: full public-domain texts with their original covers, in a clean book-style reading view.
  • Bible and religious studies: free study material for personal reading or group study.
  • Inclusion studies: readable guides on accessibility and inclusion, such as an ADA overview, “Accessibility 101,” and how to volunteer with Special Olympics as a Unified Partner.
  • History: the long-running Boston history series and reading notes on historical works.

Why it belongs in a business story

A free library doesn’t show up on a revenue line. It builds trust, though, and it keeps readers returning daily, and those are the things the rest of the ecosystem depends on. Free reading, supported by advertising, means nobody gets turned away.

Road to the Rocketship, Ch. 7: The Arcade Is Open (Play Coins Only)

The Boston Made Arcade is a free-to-play slots arcade that runs on play coins only — no real money, ever. Half the machines are themed around pets and learning, and they tie the brands together through story.

Dear Sir or Madam,

ROAD TO THE ROCKETSHIP · Chapter 7

Every ecosystem needs a place to play.

The Boston Made Arcade is open at games.bostonmade.com.

The rules

  • Free to play. You play with play coins. There’s no real money, no cash prizes and nothing to buy to win. It’s entertainment, not gambling.
  • Story-led. The machines are themed around the ecosystem’s brands and storylines, so playing doubles as a tour of what Boston Made builds.
  • Half pets and learning. Half the arcade focuses on pets and education, with reels and bonus rounds built around dog breeds, Boston history and quick facts.
  • Half open, half members. Half the machines are open to everyone. The rest unlock with MasterPass.

Why an arcade?

People come back to places that are fun. A game that teaches you a dog breed or a piece of Boston history, and points you to the Reader for the full story, keeps people moving through the ecosystem without any hard sell.
