Cocktails & Capital®
Cocktails & Capital™ | Washington, DC Metro
December 2, 2026 | Ragtime | Clarendon, VA
Where Founders Meet Capital.
We're heading back to the DC metro area!
Following a successful launch in Alexandria, we're excited to bring Cocktails & Capital™ to Ragtime in Clarendon for another evening of meaningful connections between founders, investors, corporate leaders, universities, government representatives, and industry operators.
Cocktails & Capital isn't your typical networking event. We bring together a curated mix of people who can help founders access capital, build strategic relationships, and take their businesses to the next level.
Our first DC gathering welcomed investors from MIT Angels, Citrine Angels, and private equity, along with George Mason University's Technology Transfer Office and founders from across the DMV.
Now we're building on that momentum.
Whether you're a founder preparing to raise capital, an investor looking for new opportunities, or an industry leader interested in supporting innovation, this is a room worth being in.
Our Partners
We're proud to collaborate with:
ICW® Capital – Connecting founders to capital through investor readiness and strategic relationships.
Pierson Ferdinand LLP – Legal Partner
George Mason University Technology Transfer Office

What to Expect
An evening of genuine conversations, new introductions, and opportunities to connect with people who can make a difference in your business.
No endless pitches. No transactional networking. Just the right people in the room, building relationships that matter.
Investors, government representatives, and university partners attend complimentary.
Space is limited to keep the experience personal and the connections meaningful.
Join us December 2 at Ragtime in Clarendon. We look forward to seeing you there!
