Cocktails & Capital®

Cocktails & Capital™ | Washington, DC Metro December 2, 2026 | Ragtime | Clarendon, VA Where Founders Meet Capital. We're heading back to the DC metro area! Following a successful launch in Alexandria, we're excited to bring Cocktails & Capital™ to Ragtime in Clarendon for another evening of meaningful connections between founders, investors, corporate leaders, universities, government representatives, and industry operators. Cocktails & Capital isn't your typical networking event. We bring together a curated mix of people who can help founders access capital, build strategic relationships, and take their businesses to the next level. Our first DC gathering welcomed investors from MIT Angels, Citrine Angels, and private equity, along with George Mason University's Technology Transfer Office and founders from across the DMV. Now we're building on that momentum. Whether you're a founder preparing to raise capital, an investor looking for new opportunities, or an industry leader interested in supporting innovation, this is a room worth being in.
