Maryland-based AI-enabled business seeks to support ecosystem growth
COLUMBIA, Md., (June 22, 2026) — TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced an investment of more than $100,000 in EcoMap Technologies through its Seed Funds. The Seed Funds support the growth of Maryland’s technology and life sciences entrepreneurial ecosystems by providing early-stage capital to promising companies. The funding will support the company's continued growth and expansion in Maryland.
"Regions invest millions in programs to support entrepreneurs, but those investments fall short when people can't navigate what exists or see how it connects. That's the problem we build for, and TEDCO's investment lets us bring that work to more communities," said Sherrod Davis, co-founder and CEO of EcoMap Technologies.
EcoMap Technologies, based in Baltimore, Md., aims to build the connective infrastructure ecosystems need to make their resources visible, coordinate support and strengthen their competitiveness. Its Ecosystem Intelligence™ platform was designed to transform fragmented ecosystem activity into actionable intelligence, equipping economic developers, chambers of commerce and state agencies to track resource utilization, benchmark regional competitiveness and deliver evidence of impact.
“TEDCO’s Seed Funds were created to support the continued growth of promising technology and life sciences-based companies working to bring solutions and innovations to Maryland,” said Teddy Gresser, TEDCO’s senior director, Seed Funds. “EcoMap’s goal of innovating how ecosystems are seen, interacted with and supported could allow for better planning, collaboration and understanding across each network; with this investment we hope to see their continued growth.”
EcoMap Technologies has been part of the TEDCO portfolio since 2021 when they were awarded the Rural and Underserved Business Recovery from Impact of COVID-19 (RUBRIC) grant. Following this award, the company was a speaker at the 2025 Entrepreneur Expo and received investments from TEDCO’s Seed Funds in 2023.

“As AI continues to grow, so too do our resources and opportunities, meaning more companies are turning towards the tool to support innovation and expansion efforts,” said TEDCO CEO, Troy LeMaile-Stovall. “However, to utilize it efficiently, companies need to invest in talent – talent that Maryland is bursting with. With rankings as the number one state for professional and technical workers, the third ranking state for its technology and science workforce and part of the epicenter of cybersecurity talent, Maryland-based companies are offered access to experts who can support continued growth.”
