Entrepreneurship hub Betamore and Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank’s private investment arm will host a new, one-day event this fall to showcase the city’s start-up companies, the groups said.
The event, dubbed Beta City and set for Oct. 1, will allow attendees to have hands-on interaction with the region’s entrepreneurs, who will show off their products and services.
The idea for the event sprung from the former Tech Night event, which annually showcased the city’s technology companies for nearly 25 years, said Jen Meyer, CEO of Betamore. The event, run by the Greater Baltimore Technology Council, ended in 2013.
“It’s a great opportunity, especially for companies that don’t have huge budgets, to potentially give them some visibility,” Meyer said. “When you don’t have that extensive budget and extensive manpower to make that happen, this is a good way to do it.”
