Important Announcement about EcoMap Baltimore
As of March 2021, EcoMap Baltimore is in hibernation
‍
EcoMap Baltimore was created in early 2020 by EcoMap Technologies, a Baltimore-based company that provides custom technology solutions for entrepreneurial communities across the US & abroad. EcoMap Baltimore was our pilot site, meaning it's the first version of our platform, and its launch was funded by the EcoMap Team. As our company has grown, we've made tremendous improvements to the core EcoMap platform. However, our team has not been able to implement these features on EcoMap Baltimore, given its early version and the lack of a partner organization.

We are excited to announce that there's a new partnership backing the revitalization of EcoMap Baltimore, launching in late summer 2021. The platform will be packed full of features and data to help Baltimore's entrepreneurial ecosystem thrive. Until that point, the data on this platform is no longer being updated by the EcoMap team, as we work with our partners to build a next-generation EcoMap. In the meantime, you can find updated information on resources and deadlines on the Maryland Entrepreneur Hub.

Thank you for your support of EcoMap Baltimore - this site is what allowed our company to take off 🚀. We'll be back in a few months with the platform that Baltimore deserves: driven by the community, with best features we offer, built by a startup that calls Baltimore home.

-Pava LaPere, CEO, EcoMap Technologies
