yes! that's who I'm thinking of! A great inspiration.

I know an awesome Node developer here in Baltimore with no prior experience, who had gone to a bootcamp for six months, and who was offered an intermediate-level position. Talking …

I had the same thought about somehow using AI to make this completely automatic and increase the quality of the story. Turk does have the ability to allow workers to upload files s…

We haven't locked down the space yet but are hoping for a spot in Fells Point. I actually also live in Charles Village, let's meet up for coffee sometime! (mike@subelsky.com)

The ETC is great but does not provide funding, and you have to pay rent for the office space (though the leases are on startup-friendly terms, graduated rates, etc). The ETC will a…

who's trying to rationalize it? There's not much I can do about it; it's still an awesome place to live. Good luck buying a house in a nice part of Boston or NYC as a working-class…

So, that's one of the main reasons for doing this, to create that virtuous cycle, but at this stage I don't think we can require it.

you should definitely apply as a team. We would love to back a company targeting Russia! It's a global economy, right? Also there's a large Russian population in Baltimore FWIW

just a splash page for now, designed by Mark Armbruster. The site is http://thestartupcity.com (the guy who owns startupcity.com wants a lot of $$$ for it)

glad to hear it! But this is just one small facet of the tech scene in Baltimore...Please check out my response to kovar for a list of other resources you should check out.

I actually don't mind The Wire reputation, because I loved that show so much. Lest anyone think I don't have a sense of humor about it, here's a tour I wrote up for seeing all the …

it was. We're probably going to do something like Capital Factory. The video part is just to help get an initial screening done of the applicants.

I don't want us to be a city that tries to be something it's not. We shouldn't even try to replicate what you have out there, but, I think it's a very creative place where it is po…

yes but how many other cities have had their homicides so dramatically portrayed to the world cognoscenti?

it's a fair critique and you aren't the first to mention it. But I will say it's vastly accelerated the exchange of ideas and feeling of community in Baltimore so overall it's a ne…

you guys don't even know how motivating it is to read stuff like this. I am forwarding these comments to folks I know in the economic development community. Perhaps we can get a bi…

oh awesome! I'm really glad to hear it. See my comment to Kovar about all the other things you should check out if you like this :-)

this is music to my ears! We actually have a very vibrant innovation/startup community in Baltimore. Check out our Facebook Group to get a quick firehose: https://www.facebook.com/…

I know, I thought about that too. We're constrained by the availability of the space and the time needed to arrange all the financing. We're going to be doing this at least once a …

I don't see contact info in your profile, but email me and we'll talk!

will do! I'm mike@subelsky.com in case something gets lost in translation

thank you, I definitely will reach out. The main thing we're gonna need is people to help advise these companies (not too time-consuming, just answer some questions here and there)…

I know there are a lot of incubators starting up now, but there aren't so many on the east coast. I wrote in more detail about the vision of this project and why we're doing it in …
