Startup Showcase: Washington DC
About this Event
Kingscrowd’s Startup Showcase series heads to Washington DC for an evening of live startup pitches, investor insight, and high-quality networking.
Join us on October 20th at 3PM ET for an in-person event featuring a curated group of founders actively raising capital via RegCF — meaning anyone can invest, not just traditional venture capital firms.
Whether you’re allocating $500 or $500,000, this event offers direct access to startup opportunities across industries and stages. You’ll hear founders present their vision, traction, and growth strategy — and have the opportunity to ask questions in a live setting.
The evening will be hosted by Teddy Lyons, Sr. Investment Associate at Kingscrowd, who will provide expert commentary and perspective on today’s private market landscape.
