AI-enabled startup aims to deliver entertainment content through streaming in organizational spaces

COLUMBIA, Md., (January 20, 2026) — TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced a $500,000 investment from TEDCO’s Inclusion Fund and Venture Funds in TechRow.

“We appreciate TEDCO for this recent investment which will help us continue developing our technology to better serve organizations that rely on content to engage audiences and bring people together,” said Travis Feldler, CEO of TechRow. “There is a thirst for entertainment and experiences, and TechRow is at the forefront of utilizing the best of artificial intelligence to create real-life, communal experiences and events.”

TechRow, located in Baltimore, Md., operates a streaming platform for organizational spaces that aims to deliver films, series, live events and other programmed content. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the platform works to enable organizations to describe the kind of experience they want to create — including tone, audience and context — and surfaces programming options across multiple media formats, including audio and text.

“TechRow’s platform strives to utilize AI to make existing video content instantly usable as on-demand guidance, turning passive video libraries into tools for learning and support,” said Jean-Luc Park, deputy chief investment officer & senior director, Social Impact Funds. “We look forward to their continued success, for them and the Maryland entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

The Inclusion Fund, housed under TEDCO’s Social Impact Funds, focuses on providing investment opportunities that are often overlooked by traditional investment and financing sources due to economic disadvantages. For more information, visit our page here.

“By creating this on demand video library, school teachers are able to access content and even quizzes for students,” said Katherine Hill Ritchie, senior director, Venture Funds. “We hope with this investment, we will see the company’s successful growth.”

TEDCO’s evergreen Venture Funds are just one of the many investment opportunities available to qualifying technology-focused startups and small businesses across Maryland. For more information, visit our page at tedcomd.com/funding/venture-funds.

“Continued growth in AI is creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs, and Maryland is well-positioned to support their growth,” said TEDCO CEO Troy LeMaile-Stovall. “With a large concentration of AI jobs and a leading cybersecurity workforce, the state offers meaningful resources and advantages for companies looking to start or scale AI-focused businesses.”
