Steel yourselves, because the second full week of February throws down.
Tonight head to Betamore to hear from Paul Singh, partner with 500 Startups, on how the angel investing game is changing rapidly. Tomorrow morning is another installment of Columbia TechBreakfast, with Howard County CIO Ira Levy in the mix. Big decision to make Tuesday evening: party it up with new Baltimore Development Corporation president Brenda McKenzie at the BioPark, or head to Mustang Alley with the Chesapeake Regional Tech Council to drink beer and bowl with fellow tech professionals? All day Friday is yet another BizWorkshop, this one tailored to those startups still looking to incorporate their businesses. And on Saturday, the third CreateBaltimore, the unconference for people who give a damn about making Baltimore a better place.
The Rise of the Angels with Paul Singh: At Betamore tonight, Paul Singh of 500 Startups will be leading a talk and Q&A session about the changing mechanics of financing early-stage startups around the world.
