Joined by failure

The latest iteration of Baltimore Innovation Week kicks off in a few short weeks. Whether you're registered or still unsure about attending, you can check out some of our recommended sessions in my article below. 
 
One of those sessions is a "Fail Fest" in which 10 local innovators share their biggest fails. That session marks the start of a new partnership between Innovation Works and Squadra Ventures to develop community-based mentorship that supports. entrepreneurs in the Baltimore community.
