TEDCO announces the selection of AIN Ventures as one of the early-stage venture capital fund managers supporting the management and investment of up to $10 million in U.S. Department of Treasury State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funding.

Small, women- and minority-owned businesses possess the talent, innovation and drive to succeed. However, these businesses are often at a disadvantage when starting out and then overlooked when competing against larger organizations. But Maryland is creating a state where businesses of all kinds can thrive.

TEDCO CEO, Troy LeMaile-Stovall, sat down with The Monthly Blend co-hosts Anthony & Tien to reflect on how TEDCO has transformed Maryland’s startup ecosystem over the past four years. He shared insights on the ecosystem’s growth, the importance of strengthening our “muscle memory,” and why the entrepreneurial journey is rarely linear. 

TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced a recent Pre-Seed Builder Fund investment in Sybal. This Maryland-based software startup provides computational governance solutions designed to support various industries. 

The critical need for cybersecurity professionals continues to expand exponentially and Maryland is the nation’s epicenter of cybersecurity. However, with this designation, comes a talent shortage that TEDCO’s Cyber Maryland Program is addressing, allowing the state to become a leading cyber ecosystem by creating a more efficient and sustainable workforce pipeline.
