Programs · Baltimore Retired 2025
The Bmore Collaboratory put inclusive entrepreneurship front and center: an Intelligent Innovation Initiative (i3) with Kauffman Foundation support, built for a fairer business ecosystem in the city. The formal program has closed; the relationships and lessons feed today’s civic and studio work at Hopkins.

Inclusive ecosystem
The collaboratory connected founders, institutions, and neighborhood wealth-building so Baltimore’s innovation economy could grow without leaving people behind. It lived inside the i3 portfolio at Johns Hopkins Engineering, with storytelling and programming aimed at durable partnerships, not one-off events.
i3 · Kauffman
As a Kauffman-backed i3 effort, Collab emphasized governance, learning, and shared infrastructure for entrepreneurship. That same DNA shows up today in lab-led convenings, GSC city partnerships, and trainee pathways that treat Baltimore as the classroom.
