Baltimoreans might not consider themselves part of the DC metro area, but a premier analysis of global startup ecosystems does.

That said, the report did feature a quote from Mark Anthony Thomas, the CEO of the Greater Baltimore Committee, who discussed the broader global economic trends that influenced this year's rankings.
