DC Tech Meetup #88: Accelerator Alumni
DC Tech Meetup is focused on highlighting innovation and bringing the tech community of DC together - and this month we're celebrating what we have accomplished together in 2024!
Every month you'll see product demos from companies based right here in the DMV. No pitches, no sales, just tech.
In February, we'll be highlighting companies who have participated in local accelerator programs.
