Technically Philly Expanding To Cover Baltimore

One thing that Cameron and I have noticed on the road covering startups “Everywhere Else” is that there are some really great locally focused websites out there (and some really horrible ones). Sites like inthecapital.com (covering Washington DC’s thriving tech scene), Builtinchicago (covering Chicago’s Tech Scene), Silicon Prairie, TechCocktail and Technically Philly do a great job of keeping the tech community in their target areas in focus.

Technically Philly is expanding this summer. They let their readers know in this blog post that they plan on soft launching Technically Baltimore.com later this summer with the help of Baltimore entrepreneur and startup evangelist Mike Brenner. Brenner maintains the startupbaltimore.org site and will be instrumental in Technically Baltimore’d launch. They plan on having a more formal launch in the fall.

Technically Philly has a revenue model that consists of an annual event called “Philly Tech Week” which is just about a week away, along with other shoulder events, and some underwriting. They plan on continuing a similar model with the Baltimore site, so while reporting on the Baltimore tech scene will be priority number one, companies in Charm City will also get the chance to showcase themselves in an event similar to Philly Tech Week (we hope).

More after the break



Our parent company, which encompasses our sister site thedroidguy.com, was launched out of Baltimore Maryland with the support of many in the Baltimore social media club and the Baltimore tech scene including the likes of Millennial Media. So we know what a great atmosphere Baltimore can be.

Technically Philly is a homegrown startup. The sites three founders, Sean Blanda, Christopher Wink and James Kirk are all graduates of Temple University who’ve done a great job since 2009 in filling a void in the Philadelphia tech community.

With Technically Baltimore you can expect coverage of local tech events, local tech companies, startups, funding rounds, appointments, promotions and the overall pulse of charm city’s local tech scene.

We will be at Philly Tech Week as part of our roving continuous road trip coverage of startups “Everywhere Else”
