“One of the things we heard from our customers and potential customers is that it’s a little confusing to navigate the kind of alphabet soup of programs,” said John Wasilisin, CEO of TEDCO.
“For three hours, I sat across from startup founders and entrepreneurs working in life sciences, technology and cybersecurity fields and listened to their elevator pitches. The sessions were part of this week’s Entrepreneur Expo in Baltimore, hosted by Maryland’s Technology Development Corp.”
Harbor Bank hosted a pitch event through its Community Development Corp., with 15 presenters from local startups and businesses and 10 prospective investors.
TEDCO created a diversity outreach work group this year to try and figure out why programs are not attracting more diverse applicants and how the organization can begin to fix the problem.
Much like in real life, when you go on the internet you leave fingerprints, digital ones, that show what you like, what you believe and what websites you’ve visited recently.
TEDCO’s 2026 Entrepreneur Expo will feature the panel “Unlocking Capital: Lending & Investment Strategies for Business Growth,” bringing together industry experts to discuss funding strategies that can help entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses.
