Merril’s Bethesda-based company, Brain
Sentry, builds helmet sensors to help prevent brain injuries in contact
sports. The sensor blinks red to alert coaches if there is more than a 25
percent chance the player has sustained a brain injury after a big hit.
Merril is one of the growing number
of entrepreneurs in Maryland’s startup community who have helped the state earn
recognition from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as the best place for innovation
and entrepreneurship for the second year in a row. Maryland beat Massachusetts,
Texas, and California -- states better known for robust entrepreneurial
climates.
