New faces, new digs

By now, I hope you've heard that we have a new editor overseeing Technical.ly's coverage in Baltimore and DC: Sameer Rao

 

While he won't be reporting often, he did check out and subsequently write about the Techstars Equitech Accelerator's Demo Day. It feels fitting that the story is, partially, about founders so enthralled by Baltimore's tech community that they're relocating here, as our new editor gets to know the tech scene himself.

 

Read it below — and please send him a "Welcome!" email at sameer@technical.ly as he settles in.
