DC Startup Week is an independent, free, five day conference that celebrates the startup community in Washington, D.C., bringing together innovators, entrepreneurs, investors and government leaders.
The event will feature unique programming and networking opportunities to showcase collaboration and innovation in the world’s most powerful global city.
D.C. is ramping up to the be the city for inclusive innovation. In 2016, the DC Startup Week was the first of its kind celebration to bring the energy and spirit of SXSW to the Greater Washington, D.C. Region. Since then, the startup festival movement has been ramping up across other community stakeholders and impacted thousands.
In D.C., we stick to our founding principles. We pledge radical inclusion: every event is open to the public, the talent is reflective of the diverse population and all are welcome.
