Don't leave me LISTless!

Thursday has arrived, Baltimore! And wow, it's already the 12th — time's flying, even if your plane isn't. (Apologies if that FAA outage joke triggered any memory of Southwest woes during the holidays.)

As you might already know, my colleagues and I have spent this week combing through our archives and soliciting your suggestions for whom to recognize in our RealLIST Startups, which drops later this month. If you're new to the show: This annual list highlights the top 20 companies in each geographic market we cover whose recent accomplishments and innovations make them worth following.

Eligible startups need to have been founded no earlier than 2020; generate most of their revenue come from a product; demonstrate a track record of success; and remain independent, with no M&As or IPOs. And we don't repeat any startups in the top 10 of any prior RealLIST, no matter how well they've done since then. 

While we don't solicit formal nominations (à la our Technical.ly Awards), we still value your expertise and insight into Baltimore's regional tech world. So, I ask you, for the last time this week: Do you know (or work for) an eligible startup that deserves such recognition? If so, let us know by emailing [email protected], and thanks. 

Until then, check out our stories below about Baltimore's 2022 VC activity and Sen. Van Hollen's IP theft bill. And I hope you have a great end of week and long weekend!
