This episode of Baltimore Weekly was recorded at the cool confines of the new(ish) Highlandtown location of the Emerging Technology Centers (@etcbaltimore
http://www.etcbaltimore.com/). A lot of great new companies are blossoming there.

In a relatively calm moment over the holidays, we sat down with Mike Subelsky, co-founder and CTO of Staq, impresario of Ignite Baltimore, and so much more. In this discussion, we review the biggest stories in Baltimore tech from a momentous 2013. We also look forward to the big challenges and opportunities before us as the tech scene evolves and matures.

Startups can now apply for $400,000 in grants and much more through the InvestMaryland Challenge program. Sharon Paley and Andrew Hazlett interview Michelle Jackson of DBED about this terrific opportunity [more info: http://investmarylandchallenge.org]
