The InvestMaryland Challenge has whittled down the 259 start-up companies that applied to the business competition to 33 semifinalists.
Only nine of those companies will move on to be finalists in the contest; three will win grand prizes of $100,000.
On March 5 the semifinalists will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges and complete a product demonstration. Grand prizes will be announced April 15.
