Plus, a space-bound youth STEM event on Sunday.
Newsletter for February 22, 2024 |
It's been an exhilarating week finalizing this year's list of promising startups in Baltimore. One thing has become evident to me during my time in this newsroom: Baltimore's sectors are interconnected, and it's exciting to see a diverse range of products and event planners included on the list. So be sure to check the 2024 RealLIST Startups out. Additionally, I received a message on LinkedIn from a NASA aerospace engineer earlier in the week, which led to another article you'll see today. Stay tuned for more details about a youth-associated workshop this weekend. Oh, and there's also a juicy news incubator on the horizon as you scroll. Hint: Artscape is back. — Alanah, Technical.ly lead reporter for Baltimore |

These startups, ranging from cognitive health to menstrual care, demonstrate promising potential. To earn recognition, companies must meet specific criteria, including recent establishment, revenue generation through a product and no prior exit events. With 10 companies securing official list spots and 10 as runners-up, the stage is set to celebrate Baltimore's thriving tech scene once again. ➡️ Find out more in my full report here. |
