Capital flows to high-growth tech companies have slowed nationally but dozens of DC technology ventures remain Red Hot. DC-area companies in AI, dual use, cybersecurity, big data, fintech, proptech, health care and other sectors continue to grow, attract capital and talent and make incredible progress in their missions to solve our country’s biggest challenges.

For the 11th consecutive year, DCA Live and our partners are excited to recognize the 2026 Red Hot Companies, the Washington region's fastest growing and most exciting companies. We’ll be profiling these companies over the coming weeks and will celebrate them with a lively, fun event on the evening of Tuesday, September 1 on the COOLEST rooftop venue in Washington, DC.  

Join us to meet the leaders of these great companies and our community of investors, connectors and advisors to DC Tech and enjoy great views, food, drink and networking.
