The STRT1Up Road Show brought the bus to Baltimore for a final stop last week.
Startup founders who were named finalists for the pitch competition portion of the statewide bus tour organized by Startup Maryland moved the pitch venue off the road, and in front of a panel of judges in Mt. Royal. Here’s who won in a pair of categories:
