Local Entrepreneur Advocates for Collaboration and Mentorship to Strengthen Startups and Future Workforce
BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESS Newswire / November 28, 2025 / Gregory Pranzo, a leading figure in Baltimore's tech and startup ecosystem, is raising awareness about the critical role of community-driven support and mentorship in fostering innovation and sustainable business growth. In a recent feature highlighting his career and insights, Pranzo emphasized that Baltimore's neighborhoods, entrepreneurs, and institutions have the potential to create a thriving, tech-forward economy.
"Baltimore has incredible young talent," Pranzo said. "Our job is to give them the tools, advice, and confidence to take risks and build things that can change the city, and maybe even the world."
Why Community and Mentorship Matter
According to recent studies, nearly 90% of startups fail due to lack of mentorship, guidance, or market understanding. Pranzo argues that the solution lies within Baltimore's own entrepreneurial community. By fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, startups can access resources, develop ideas more effectively, and accelerate growth.
"An idea is only as good as the execution behind it," Pranzo explained. "When entrepreneurs have access to mentorship and peer networks, they can turn concepts into solutions that actually impact businesses and communities."
Opportunities for Baltimore Entrepreneurs
In his interview, Pranzo highlighted that Baltimore's neighborhoods are emerging as innovation hubs where local businesses, universities, and nonprofits can collaborate to solve real-world problems. Initiatives such as co-working spaces, tech meetups, and mentorship programs are providing essential platforms for learning and experimentation.
"Helping others grow is not just rewarding, it strengthens the entire ecosystem," Pranzo said. "Collaboration is the key to turning Baltimore into a hub of innovation that competes on a national and even global scale."
Taking Action: What You Can Do
Pranzo encourages entrepreneurs, students, and community members to get involved in local innovation efforts. "You don't have to run a startup to make an impact," he said. "Attend a workshop, join a local mentor program, or volunteer your expertise. Every small step helps build the network that will shape our city's future."
