Crab Tank apps are open

Baltimore Homecoming is gathering the city's well-known alumni this spring to reconnect with the city where they once lived, and a pitch competition for startups and businesses will be one of the events that showcase the current happenings in town.

 

Along with offering a chance to pitch to an influential group of leaders, the Crab Tank competition is offering a $25,000 grand prize, and a $2,500 people's choice award. It's sponsored by M&T Bank.

 

It all takes place at Amplify 2022, the Baltimore Homecoming event happening May 4-6, 2022.

 

Entrepreneurs: apply for Crab Tank by Jan. 14 here.
