When it comes to where we live our lives and get stuff done, there's offices, there's home, and many have another spot where they like to change up the setting and maybe meet up with other folks. In Baltimore we have a bunch of cafe spots where you're bound to run into folks from the community - Charmington's, Dooby's, R. House, Dovecote, Spoons. Pre-pandemic I especially liked to frequent R. House in Remington for morning meetings, and always managed to catch up with a few others along the way. It was like an unofficial meetup in there sometimes! What's your third place? Tell us by replying to this email, and maybe I'll run into you someday. —Technical.ly Assistant Editor Stephen Babcock (stephen@technical.ly) | | | | | Top Stories | | By Combining coursework and experience investing in companies, the fund will look to back women and BIPOC entrepreneurs in Baltimore.
