Who's the next unicorn?

This week, the Baltimore area saw something we don't see every day: A unicorn. Hanover-based industrial cybersecurity company Dragos topped a $1 billion valuation, earning the tech industry's mythical creature tag.

 

It's the kind of moment that can make folks from elsewhere take a deeper look at Baltimore, and we know there are plenty more startups here growing quickly. So, who do you think is poised to follow in Dragos' footsteps and grow a horn?

 

Tell us who the next Baltimore unicorn will be at baltimore@technical.ly.

 

Then, have a good weekend.
