Join vcIQ, an intimate founder-investor forum designed to facilitate candid conversations between early-stage startup founders and active venture capital investors. Held as part of Deep Tech Week DC, this session brings together a small group of approximately 15 to 20 founders with 2 to 3 investors for a discussion focused on fundraising, market opportunities, growth strategies and the challenges of building deep tech companies.
vcIQ is structured as an interactive conversation where founders can ask questions, share experiences and gain practical insights directly from investors who fund emerging technology companies. Topics may include venture fundraising, investor expectations, commercialization pathways and scaling startups in sectors such as AI, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, energy, robotics and defense.
Arlington Economic Development (AED) is proud to sponsor this event as part of its commitment to supporting founders, increasing access to capital and strengthening Arlington's innovation ecosystem. The session offers a valuable opportunity for entrepreneurs to connect with investors and peers while building relationships within the region's growing deep tech community.
