Site Miners are individuals selected by the Qualifying Universities to assist faculty and start-ups in submitting a strong, business-oriented application focused on commercialization. By providing valuable input and feedback prior to submission of an MII application, these individuals work as liaisons between the applicant and the MII program to ensure that all proposals meet a high standard of quality and align with the mission of the program.
The MII program requires each applicant to engage with a Site Miner, at least one month (30 days) before application submission. Involving a Site Miner early in the application process increases an applicant’s odds of success.
Every application must include a current, dated letter of approval, signed by a Site Miner stating their interaction with the applicant has been at least one-month (30 days) prior to application submission to meet compliance requirements.
If you do not know your Site Miner’s name, please email sgoncalves@tedcomd.com
for assistance.
TEDCO Registration
- Pursuant to the Economic Development Article of the Maryland Code, TEDCO is required to foster equal access entrepreneurship and innovation throughout Maryland. Accordingly, data retrieved through the TEDCO Registration process will be used, in aggregate, to better understand the communities that are accessing TEDCO’s resources/funding. This means that all MII applicants must first obtain a one-time TEDCO ID before accessing the MII application portal.
-
Once registered, applicants can access any of TEDCO’s resources and funds using their unique TEDCO ID, reducing redundancies in data entry for our stakeholders. Please click below to register.
After completing the form, an email will be sent with the registration number. You can then proceed with the application process. Please note - If you have previously obtained the TEDCO ID you should use the same ID for all TEDCO applications going forward. If you forgot your TEDCO ID send an email to sgoncalves@tedcomd.com.
