BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- The founders of MatchPlay announced today the launch of its innovative platform which provides a tailored and highly personalized journey to entrepreneurship and startup development. The program focuses on close-knit mentorship through its core principle, coined "the Match" – a proven tactical use case connecting founders with precisely what they need at the specific time they need it.

The range of services include investing analysis, fundraising tools, mentorship, fast-tracking into top-accelerators, operational support, marketing and media relations. MatchPlay's model is built upon the proven need of each founding team to be equipped with the most constructive tools and resources they need to scale effectively - at no cost.
