“Startup City”: Baltimore’s first Startup Accelerator

Early this morning, Amy Dusto published an article on Bmore Media’s website announcing the launch of Startup City, an accelerator for startups that will be launching sometime this year.
In the article, Dusto credits the idea for this accelerator back to local entrepreneur and programmer Mike Subelsky who drafted a public proposal earlier this year. It wasn’t until Monica Beeman, an evangelist for the Baltimore tech/startup communities, offered her support that this idea really started to get some legs. The two of them are now quickly moving forward with their project and hope to have the first class of entrepreneurs working this summer.
Dusto writes,

[Startup City is] a twelve week summer program offering free workspace in Baltimore, $15,000 of seed money, mentoring, and workshops for ten lucky entrepreneurs, all to help them blossom.
The program itself will run from July 1 to August 30, during which the founders of each chosen startup will be required to live in Baltimore — and hopefully they’ll stay longer.

Applications for Startup City will be made available sometime next week.
