The Hill Playbook For Startups

​How do you actually build effective, lasting relationships on Capitol Hill - beyond cold emails and one-off meetings?

​Join us for a small, off-the-record working session led by Nic Adams, Director of Government Relations at Overland AI, Founder of Adams Atlas Group, and former U.S. Senate staffer.

​This session is built for founders and VCs who want to understand how Congress really works: how relationships are formed over time, how to engage lawmakers and staff credibly, and how to align policy engagement with long-term business goals.

Nic will walk through practical frameworks, real-world examples, and common mistakes he sees from startups entering the policy arena for the first time - followed by open Q&A and discussion.

SPECIAL OPENING: 5 SEATS AVAILABLE TO NON-STATION DC MEMBERS.
