Stewardship is the foundation of TEDCO's mission, ensuring responsible resource management, fostering belonging, and empowering staff to align with the organization's core values. Embedded in the culture, stewardship encourages employees to take ownership of their roles, while simultaneously promoting accountability and integrity.
Collaboration means joining forces by cooperating with your counterparts and learning from each other. TEDCO’s mission is to provide monetary assistance, resources, and networks for early-stage technology companies in Maryland. Like clockwork, the company’s ability to operate without hitches is driven by the determination to work together.
The software industry is a dynamic force driving progress across all sectors. Maryland is home to a vibrant ecosystem of software companies tackling complex challenges and developing cutting-edge solutions. Championing this ecosystem is the Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO). Recently recognized by Pitchbook as the No. 5 top investor in the Mid-Atlantic region, they play a crucial role in fueling the success of Maryland’s software companies.
TEDCO has five core values: accountability, collaboration, integrity, stewardship, and respect. While each of these core values drives everything TEDCO does, I would like to take a moment to focus on stewardship.

A few months into my role at TEDCO as the Digital Marketing Coordinator, I was encouraged to write about one of the organization’s five core values – accountability, collaboration, integrity, respect, and stewardship – and why I think this value is so essential to Maryland’s ecosystem; I decided to focus on collaboration.
