Expert Panel: How to make your clients stand out to PE buyers
Private equity firms may vary in strategy, but they’re unified in what they value: clear growth stories, clean financials, and the absence of deal-killers. That’s the consensus among several seasoned investment bankers who recently shared insights with Private Equity Info when we asked how they help sellers cut through the noise and speak the language of today’s private equity buyers. From surfacing key value drivers to managing risks, their responses reveal what really moves the needle.
Dirt Road Democrat: Prejudice Revealed
From NPR Story In Show Notes: "The push to remove Brian Kirk is being led by a conservative pastor in the same city. The conflict has already prompted St. Joseph to change how it appoints members of city boards. On Monday, June 26, the St. Joseph City Council meeting began as usual with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. As the attendees finished reciting the pledge, a few people shouted the last words — “with liberty and justice for all!” — prompting a rebuke from Mayor John Josendale.

The pandemic paused our startup so we built a tool to help others launch
Business 2 seconds ago "If we couldn’t work on delivering our product immediately, maybe the work we did to create our product could help someone else," writes Brian James Kirk, cofounder of adventure company Bikeout. The pandemic paused our startup so we built a tool to help others launch (Courtesy photo) This is a guest post by Bikeout cofounder Brian James Kirk. You never just start a company, like you turn on a lamp or begin a race. You conjure a company.
The Pandemic Paused Our Startup So We Built a Tool to Help Others Launch
You never just start a company, like you turn on a lamp or begin a race. You conjure a company. You make up a story, with a plot and characters and an ending. Instead of prose, you draft it in spreadsheets and emails. Then you convince a cofounder and your first customer that it’s not just fiction. In February, I shared with family and friends that I was starting my second company, called Bikeout, with my cofounder Amanda Crawford-Staub after hosting several adventure rides over the past four years.

New ebook: How this healthcare startup fast-tracked hiring with a more focused strategy
Protenus teammates in 2018. (Photo courtesy of Protenus) In late 2017, Baltimore-based healthcare startup Protenus was reverberating from a year of growth. It was coming off of a $4 million Series A funding round. In the past two years, it had doubled its headcount to 31 employees, and revenue outcomes were better than good — they were mind-boggling. The company had grown revenue by 20 times what it had made in the previous year. But Protenus still didn’t have a cohesive recruiting strategy.

Celebrate Technical.ly’s 10th Anniversary and Get Yourself a Sweet Hoodie
Around this time 10 years ago, Christopher Wink emailed me and our pal Sean Blanda. We had all worked with one another at our college newspaper. “Was thinking of hosting a bit of a young freelancers session tomorrow night at my place,” Wink wrote. After graduating in 2008, we entered the journalism job market at perhaps the worst time in the industry’s history: The print news business was being ripped apart by digital media and was soon to fade even faster thanks to a historic recession.

SmartLogic propels digital transformation aboard Baltimore Water Taxi
Enjoying a water taxi ride is a charmingly quaint way to move around a city. Paper tickets? Still quaint, but decidedly less charming. In 2016, Baltimore Water Taxi operated with an exclusively paper ticketing system. When the company was sold in 2016, new ownership, along with president and CEO Mike McDaniel, pushed for modernizing ticketing. They wanted to develop a digital ticket sales and scan system that aligned with customer expectations and would provide deep business intelligence.
How Storytelling Plays A Part In The Baltimore Startup Community
Origin stories are often the great myths of the startup community. Companies begin in basements, they grow in garages and boom in incubators. And as much as those stories are a part of culture-setting, storytelling often becomes strategy for these young companies. To picture where you’re going, you just might have to make up the future. Recently, we wanted to better understand how startup companies were using their story to set themselves apart, grow and find new paths of innovation.

Can anyone be creative? For innovation to happen, you may have to be
Technical.ly was a media partner of this Arts + Business Council event. This coverage was not reviewed by the partner. Do you believe that everyone has the capacity to be creative? Can everyone navigate change?

What tools would give your startup superpowers?
Technical.ly will be hanging out with the startup community Tuesday morning at TEDCO’s Entrepreneur Expo, armed with an important question: what would give your startup superpowers? We tell stories at Technical.ly. Lately, we’ve been thinking about how we tell our own, especially about how we connect smart people to great companies. We’ll be at the event with a fun design-thinking activation.
Technical.ly Managing Editor
Technically Media, a local niche news and events organization best known for its local tech news network Technical.ly and social impact site Generocity.org, is hiring a Technical.ly Managing Editor to oversee the daily publishing and community engagement led by Technical.ly’s editorial team. This role would work exclusively on our Technical.ly product.
What innovations would give your company superpowers?
If we counted a thousand metaphors used to explain innovation and how it changes business, we’d probably have missed counting another million. Innovation is a light bulb. A beacon. It’s a seed, or a thousand seeds. Innovation is a lens. Innovation is an ocean. A waterfall. Innovation is teaching someone to fish. But what if innovation was a superhero movie? That’d be a lot more relatable, to us anyway. We just wrapped Black Panther on 4K Ultra HDR this weekend, so it’s timely.
Technical.ly and Gensler to talk talent at WeDC Fest

Since last October, this team has been quietly developing a new Internet of Things (IoT) business called machineQ, a network designed for the implementation of smart cities technologies, among other innovative uses.
