Spark seeks (and subsidizes) its next member

Embrace the entrepreneurial spirit in Baltimore as Small Business Saturday approaches on Nov. 25! In tandem, Spark Baltimore (where, unrelated to this, Technical.ly has a membership) announced the launch of its 2023 Small Business Saturday Giveaway.
 
It's an initiative designed to honor and empower local business owners. This year, the coworking facility is offering a prize: a 6-month workspace membership to a deserving entrepreneur in the area.

Now is your chance to shine a spotlight on the individuals who are driving innovation and creativity in Baltimore. Don't delay, as the application deadline is Nov. 30, giving you just a limited window of opportunity. The lucky winner will be chosen in early December and will have the privilege of moving into its new workspace by Jan. 1, 2024. 

If you're looking to continue in the nomination spirit, we opened nominations for the 2023 Technical.ly Awards a while back. It's how we honor top companies, leaders and organizations in the tech communities across the mid-Atlantic markets we cover. If you have some peers or favorite companies you'd like to recognize, I'd love to receive some nominations from you!
