The Baltimore market for CROs
Baltimore's economy is built on healthcare and biomedical research, cybersecurity and federal contracting, port logistics, and higher education. Federal and institutional buyers set the pace, and compliance requirements are constant. Fractional executives are widely used by contractors, spinouts, and nonprofits operating inside fixed funding envelopes.

- Sales is founder-led and not scaling past you
