This week, the New England Venture Capital Association threw a big party to celebrate the Boston innovation sector, complete with awards for the hottest startups, rock n’ roll-themed costumes, and hundreds of people packed into a big downtown theater.
It’s exactly the kind of fun event you’d expect from such a trade group, whose members want to promote Boston as a fertile seedbed for high-tech entrepreneurs. But across town, in the more buttoned-down hallways of the Massachusetts capitol, venture capitalists are also engaging in some pretty serious public policy spadework.
