Baltimore [4/8/25]—EcoMap Technologies (EcoMap), an AI software company specializing in Ecosystem Intelligence, is launching a new solution called EcoMap Ecosystem Relationship Manager (ERM). This ecosystem relationship management tool is designed to help Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) and economic developers link entrepreneurs with the right resources and measure the impact of those connections across ecosystems.
ERM joins the company’s Ecosystem Intelligence product suite as its latest module. Its shared contact and activity management system creates the single source of truth for key players in any entrepreneurial ecosystem. Those interested in learning more can sign up for the waitlist here.
At full capacity, ERM will map out how entrepreneurs move through ecosystems, giving ecosystem builders a clear view of activity from one stage to the next. It’s a first-of-its-kind tool for capturing, organizing, and analyzing ESO activity, while also measuring impact at every step of an entrepreneur’s path. That shared data will help bolster grant applications, attract investment, and highlight strategic strengths for ecosystems, eventually providing visibility into key economic indicators.
“We’re driven by a vision to break down barriers so entrepreneurs can access the resources and networks they need to build something lasting,” said Sherrod Davis, EcoMap co-founder and CEO. “ERM brings us closer to that by uniting ESOs to work as one, speeding up support for entrepreneurs and proving how these ties fuel growth. The data and intelligence will help ecosystems to tell their stories, and that’s why this tool will be a vital part of the digital infrastructure for our customers.”
The company’s flagship platform, EcoMap, maps out resources in real time to help founders find support and grow, with a feature called Pathways offering step-by-step guidance through each stage. ERM shifts the focus to ESOs, weaving their efforts into a shared system that highlights how collaboration drives ecosystem success.
ERM reduces information silos, boosts visibility, and shares information to help ESOs collaborate across ecosystems. It delivers these outputs, among others:
- Save time by adding automation and efficiency to ESO workflows
- Tracking conversations, referrals, and milestones across ESOs through shared entrepreneur case files
- Maintaining interconnected feedback loops
- Analyzing ecosystem evolution by studying companies across stages, ESO impact on entrepreneurs, and funding flows
- Sharing knowledge continuously across their constituencies
ERM simplifies this complexity, with a clear, unified view of an ecosystem. Its ESO-friendly features foster connectivity, revealing the true ties that bind ecosystems together.
