A Baltimore medical device firm that aims to prevent kidney injury was awarded the $25,000 grand prize in the Beta City Venture Capital Pitch Competition.
Renalert was chosen as the winner of the live competition that took place Thursday evening during the fifth annual Beta City, a startup demo and networking event put on by Betamore and Sagamore Ventures at City Garage in South Baltimore. About 30 companies applied to the competition this year, and Renalert was one of five finalists chosen to present their concepts to a panel of judges. This year's judges included representatives from Brown Advisory, Pitch Creator, Emerging Technology Centers, Johns Hopkins Tech Ventures and We Capital.
