“TEDCO’s commitment to creating opportunities aligns with our goals of ensuring capital goes to the most deserving applicants rather than the most privileged,” said Brian Hollins, co-founder and managing partner of Collide Capital. “With this funding, we are excited to better support the Maryland entrepreneurial ecosystem and look forward to working with TEDCO to help the ecosystem flourish.”

We are pleased to announce that TEDCO’s Justin Ferguson has been promoted to Innovation Manager, Venture Development. This promotion reflects the dedication he has shown to the Maryland innovation ecosystem. 

TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced a recent investment in Keep Company, a startup innovating how employers connect and retain employees, particularly segments prone to burnout, such as caregivers, early-career professionals, and other groups across the employee lifecycle. This investment comes from the Pre-Seed Builder Fund, which is a part of TEDCO’s Social Impact Funds, aimed at supporting underrepresented startup founders across Maryland.

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Jean-Luc Park to TEDCO's Deputy Chief Investment Officer & Senior Director, Social Impact Funds! This promotion highlights the hard work and dedication Jean-Luc continues to show to the Maryland ecosystem. 

TEDCO is excited to welcome two new members to the TEDCO Board of Directors - Ricardo Alvarado and Patrice Brickman. Starting their term July 1, the two will add their unique background and perspectives for the next few years, supporting TEDCO as we continue to lead innovation to market.
