The Missions & Markets event held at the National Landing Experience Center last night was truly a success! We piloted a new matchmaking format designed to connect investors and startups in the dual-use tech space — and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. High-impact conversations, meaningful connections, and a clear signal: there's real momentum here. 🙏 Huge thanks to Matt Gittleman, Bill Collier and Kevin He from VC in DC. This event started as a brainstorm and became a reality thanks to your dedication and intentional approach. We're also grateful to Brian Cotter and Vashion Johnson at JBG SMITH for hosting us in their stunning National Landing Experience Center and for being visionary partners in shaping one of the most innovative hubs in the region. ✨ We’re just getting started. More to come so stay tuned! If you’re interested in getting involved or partnering, get in touch with our team members, Michael Stiefvater, Tally Wolff and Sumeet Saini. #MissionsAndMarkets #DualUseTech #NationalLanding #InnovationEcosystem #Startups #VentureCapital #VCinDC #inNOVAtionLivesHere #TechEcosystem #ArlingtonVA
