Why Customer Success?
Great founders and great companies come from and require a diversity of backgrounds and skill-sets. However, some of the most useful raw materials for growing and scaling companies come from the naturally entrepreneurial and interdisciplinary skillsets of Customer Success.
At Underscore, we back transformative entrepreneurs from inception to scale. We believe Customer Success leaders have a uniquely important role in the Boston tech ecosystem as key drivers of this transformation. Whether as future founders or entrepreneurial leaders within high-growth companies, we want to support and foster Customer Success leadership in our city.

Working alongside Underscore for Customer Success guidance to portfolio companies
