Cyber, Web3 and founding lessons from Charm City

As we're more than halfway through our Cybersecurity Month, with only a week left, I ask you: What’s a topic in cybersecurity you think Technical.ly should cover?

 

This month's cyber coverage has touched on professional pathways through the Army, myths, places to find jobs in Baltimore and where neurodiversity and cybersecurity intersect, among other local and national stories. But that's certainly not the entirety of it.

 

Let us know some cybersecurity topics you think Technical.ly should cover by replying to this email or sending a note to baltimore@technical.ly, anytime.

 

Dropping Gems

  • In case you didn't see the article, there’s a Web3 conference this Saturday at FastForward U.
  • The applications for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Impact Accelerator for Black founders are open. It’s a chance to get a $125K grant, $100K AWS credit & training in AWS cloud-based technology.
  • Pick up some gems from Mac Conwell, founder of Rarebreed Ventures, through this episode of "The Room Podcast." Conwell discusses his path to founding Rarebreed and offers strategies for bridging the gap between funders and marginalized founders.
