I'm a lifelong resident of the greater DC area and one would assume that the area would have a thriving startup scene. Anyone know of anything going on there?
Oh, there's a TON going on here in DC. In fact, Kojo Namdi just had a great panel discussing the current startup climate here in DC. If you have time you can read the transcript here:
Hi Havoc2005,
I'm from DC too and currently starting my own startup. We can always meet up and share ideas. Meetup.com is a good start to meet up with tech startup entrepreneurs in this area.
