About Event

Join District Angels for an elegant evening of fine drinks and bold conversation on where early-stage capital is headed at The Ned’s Club. 🍷 Huge thanks to our sponsor, Arlington Economic Development.

We’ll kick off with a keynote from Michelle Boquiren Urben, Managing Partner at Synergos Fund, who’s spent 30+ years steering capital into transformative industries. From energy transition to health and food systems, Michelle brings a macro view of where institutional capital is moving—and why DC is more relevant than ever.

Then, we dive into “Investing in the Grey Zone”, a fireside conversation with:

Adam Phillips – Longtime (15+ years) angel, former MD at Techstars, and current MD at AthletesInnovate, Adam brings a rare lens at the intersection of law, innovation, and capital allocation.

and

Blaire Rowe Rakowicz – Founding Investor at Cross Impact Capital and co-lead of District Angels, Blaire bridges the discipline of late-stage investing with a sharp eye for early-stage risk and opportunity—especially where inclusion and innovation intersect.

Also expect curated conversations, angel circles on emerging trends, and founder pitches from:

Sid Pailla, Sunny Day Fund (FinTech)

Noah Kim, SportAI (ConsumerTech)

Emma Bates, Cachai.io (DeepTech)

👼 District Angels 👼 is a new kind of investing collective -activating capital, community, and conviction across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. We bring seasoned and first-time angels together to fund the region’s most exciting startups, while building capacity through fellowships, deal flow, and shared learning.
