Startup Maine & CEO, Laurel

The best innovations aren't a product of their address. They spring from the right conditions. Patrick Diamond spent five years at MIT learning how innovation works at the center. He took the best of it and founded Laurel — helping philanthropists invest in technology and impact. Something about Maine keeps standing out. The people who build here choose to, and that deliberateness shows up in how and what they build. Small, peripheral places create precious space for ingenuity. That's Maine's advantage. Patrick is on the board of Startup Maine to help name it and build on it.
