To help meet that need TEDCO has partnered with a series of consultants that have current, relevant experience in one or more of these specific areas. This curated group of Network Advisors brings its broad and diversified depth of experience to address the unique needs of Maryland’s start-up companies – the entire effort is dedicated to helping the State’s technology-based entrepreneurs reach their full potential.

How to Become an Advisor
TEDCO is seeking experienced business executives and successful entrepreneurs, who have an interest in serving as an advisor to start-up and early-stage companies in Maryland. TEDCO uses advisors in a variety of roles through a number of its programs. The majority of these roles are voluntary, while a few are paid consulting engagements. TEDCO is always seeking qualified individuals interested in this effort. To this end, TEDCO has a continuous, open solicitation to invite interested individuals to apply.
Please note - due to high demand, there is a waitlist for consideration. If we receive requests from entrepreneurs that require expertise we do not currently have, we may review applications from the waitlist to meet those needs. Thank you for your understanding.
