The Maryland Tech Council Venture Mentoring Services has now been in operation for just over a year, successfully completing its pilot phase.
The Mentors, as a group, are helping to grow the eco-system in Maryland, not only in growth, but with the sharing of their own special connectivity.
The MTC VMS program has a complete infrastructure carefully built to support the program as it grows and is vitally important to our community. As the program moves from pilot to full-scale operation and for years to come, we look forward to recognizing ventures and mentors who are committed to the VMS program.
This Program is one of Montgomery County’s true public private partnerships and was established in partnership with Montgomery County and the Department of Commerce, but belongs uniquely to the Maryland Tech Council and most importantly, for our tech and life science communities.
The MTC VMS program was recently awarded at the Maryland Tech Council Industry Awards Gala, celebrating the success of the pilot year and the stunning statistics.
