Maryland Inno's mission has always been to highlight the stories of startups and investors that contribute to the economy of the future and drive ongoing growth within the state.
That's why this year's Inno Under 25 award recognizes five young entrepreneurs and forward-thinking tech workers who are doing just that — and all before the age of 25.
From building devices that detect wildfires and helping the mental health of health care workers, to creating new materials to help American soldiers, young people in Baltimore are working on technologies that will have impacts far beyond the state of Maryland. These founders and workers prove that you don't need to be a 30-year-old with a master's degree to have an impact.
Along with recent college graduates and students, this year's Inno Under 25 publication also recognizes local high school student Jack Wachter. Watcher, a junior at Loyola Blakefield, interned at T. Rowe Price Group Inc. this summer and has also built his own stock market indicator, among other projects.
To help select the second class of Inno Under 25 honorees, Maryland Inno sought public nominations as well as recommendations from the local startup and higher education communities.
