South Baltimore Business Roundup

ZeroFox Moves into Pabst Castle

ZeroFox moved into the recently-renovated Pabst Castle at 1834 S. Charles St. Formerly boarded and rundown, the renovation of the building included the restoration of the brick, new windows, a new rooftop and deck, patio, an addition, and more.

ZeroFox, a social media cyber security company, recently raised $27 million in Series B Funding and expects to double the staff size of its company, which currently sits at just under 100, in the next 12 months according to CEO James Foster. The company relocated from an office space at 1111 Light Street.

Construction began at the Pabst Castle in February 2015. It was once eyed for a production brewery and brewpub by Chesapeake Craft Brewers, but Chesapeake opted for more space and recently opened Key Brewing in Dundalk instead.

Local Resident Named Candidate for ‘Women of the Year’

South Baltimore resident Brittany Webster has been named a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society 2016 Women of the Year recognition by The Maryland Chapter. From a press release:

Brittany WebsterWebster, Administrative Coordinator at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, is one of an elite group of community and business leaders who will compete for the titles of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man & Woman of the Year. Competing for these titles is an honor surrounded with a great deal of fanfare, including a full-page ad in USA Today. However, the most important reason candidates participate is to find cures for blood cancers and ensure that patients have access to lifesaving treatments.

Webster became involved because she wanted to fund research for the cure to blood cancers, and to help those affected by blood cancers. “I want to help raise money for an organization that is actively searching for a cure, and getting closer every day,” she says.

As a candidate, Webster will raise funds for a world without blood cancers between April 7th and June 18th, 2016.  Every dollar she raises will count as one “vote” in her favor. The male and female candidates with the most “votes” will be awarded the titles Maryland Man & Woman of the Year at a Grand Finale on June 18th at Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore.  The local winners are then entered into the competition for National Man & Woman of the Year titles.
