Early Charm

It's a beautiful night for Early Charm to host the Porch Concert, a travelling concert series organized by Edward Hrybyk. Our porch will look a lot more like a parking lot. Bring a chair and a beverage of your choosing and enjoy the tune.

Great News! TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, has recently invested in Minnowtech, a Baltimore-based company dedicated to supporting the #agriculture industry. Minnowtech specializes in ag-tech solutions, particularly aiding shrimp farmers with their innovative BRS-1 device, which utilizes sonar technology to collect crucial data about shrimp populations in ponds. This investment underscores TEDCO's commitment to fostering early-stage technology companies like Minnowtech, paving the way for advancements in agricultural technology. #BaltimoreTogether #BuildFromStrength To learn more about TEDCO’s investment in Minnowtech, visit https://rb.gy/28uwhk

Suzan Shahrestani, co-founder of Minnowtech, is presenting about “Seeing with Sound: Estimating Shrimp Biomass with 95% Accuracy”. In her presentation, she highlights Minnowtech’s latest innovation in aquaculture through sonar technology. After developing the device for over 2 years in Hawaii, Suzan and her team have developed a prototype that completely changed the biomass problem. Previously, it was almost impossible to count shrimp in ponds, but this sonar-based device takes information and studies shrimp behavior, turning it into biomass data with >95% accuracy. “We are now at 1.3 billion shrimp and counting,” shares Suzan. Thank you, Suzan, for an insightful introduction to this innovative technology in shrimp farming!

We're excited to share news of Minnowtech's #SeriesA #financing led by TCP Venture Capital and the Propel Baltimore Fund with participation from Abell Foundation Inc, TEDCO, and the USM Maryland Momentum Fund. As I'm sure the Minnowtech team would agree, the funding is the headline, but the real story is the company's dynamic growth with a global customer base just a few years after launching out of the REEF Entrepreneurship Program at IMET - Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology. Check out what they're building at https://minnowtech.com/.
