Baltimore startups were not among the winners of this year’s InvestMaryland Challenge and its more than $1 million in cash and in-kind awards.
Gov. Martin O’Malley announced the winners May 19 at an award ceremony at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Top winners in each of the four categories receive $100,000 from the Maryland Venture Fund and BioMaryland Center, plus other in-kind prizes.
More than 250 companies applied to the competition. Four Baltimore companies — ZeroFox, Staq, Foodem.com and Light Point Security — were among a dozen finalists announced in March. Vasoptic Medical in Columbia and Dinnertime in Lutherville were also in the running.
