Announcing the inaugural CapitalCapital event that will convene and connect DC’s tech community and venture investors from the region and far beyond.
The Washington, DC region’s VC ecosystem is ranked 5th in the US and 12th globally according to PitchBook’s 2023 Global VC Ecosystem Ranking Report. And our region continues to spawn tech and innovation that is addressing major challenges for our nation and US consumers. DC has become the nation’s center of innovation in cybersecurity and national-security related ventures, but also a diversified tech economy with significant edtech, fintech and proptech, among others, communities here.
