A decade under the influence (of tech) 

Happy Monday, Baltimore. I hope you’re enjoying the cooler weather, however long it lasts.
 
Those of you who also subscribe to our DC market newsletter will today see a first-person story that draws from my conversation with Jennifer Taylor, the Northern Virginia Tech Council’s CEO and president, during DC Startup Week. During that convo, I asked her to predict how she sees the DC area’s tech sector changing in the next decade.
 
Baltimore’s tech ecosystem is very different from DC’s, even in those times when it bleeds up the parkway (see our story below about Fearless winning a $67 million contract with one of the federal government agencies headquartered in Baltimore county). That said, a similar question can easily be applied to Baltimore’s own tech and entrepreneurship scene. Our CEO recently invited that question when he looked back at our start in Baltimore 10 years ago.
 
We’ll ask the same question a week from today, when our past and present Baltimore reporters and editors gather for a special Baltimore Innovation Week panel. In advance of that, I put to all of you reading: what do you hope for Baltimore (and its innovation-related worlds we cover) in the next 10 years?
 
Let us know by responding to this email or sending another to .
