Who's real?

It’s that time of year again: our annual RealLIST Startups is on the way!

 

If you’re a newbie, know that RealLIST Startups is a compilation of what we think are the most promising startups in the region (plus a couple of honorable mentions). In January 2021, we basically nailed it when we predicted Tradeswell as the #1 startup player in town. Since then, the startup that makes an algorithmic trading platform for ecommerce has been on a hiring streak, and had 350 brands using its software as of the fall. 

 

So now, I’m here to ask you: What do you think are the top startups of 2022? Think of those that are local, founded in 2019 or later and haven’t completed any major exits. Send us an email with your nominees at baltimore@technical.ly, or reply directly here.
