About the Event

Earlier this year, excitement and energy filled the air of a trendy rooftop bar in the heart of Washington, DC at Convergence, an exclusive, invitation-only event designed to foster relationships and knowledge sharing between DC-Metro Area startup founders and funders from across the globe. The hosts, US Ignite’s InnovateDMV Program and K Street Capital, organized the event with the simple goal of prioritizing human connections over business transactions. See more pictures below!

At Convergence, investors and DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) startup founders discussed everything from the nuances of startup valuations and the strategic use of investor feedback to local stories and news. The connections between founders and funders, who mostly all came in as strangers, now have real potential to transform into valuable partnerships.

The mix of founders, product-market fit, and traction, set the stage for a transformative experience. Guests heard a couple of panel discussions covering startup valuations and the strategic use of investor feedback. The insights provided by the panelists fueled animated and profound discussions among the guests. Attendees found the conversations so valuable they did not want the evening to end!
