The first event of the Starting Point series will take place on August 16, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., at the KPMG office in McLean, Virginia and will educate companies on how to effectively raise capital and ensure they are properly positioned for investment.

In addition, Kevin Robbins, General Partner of Blue Delta Capital Partners, will share his insights and experiences helping emerging growth companies scale.
"The startup and emerging growth industry is a vital part of our region's tech economy and NVTC is committed to helping these companies pursue expert advice, network, seek mentors, and access capital," said Jennifer Taylor, President and CEO of NVTC. "For the past thirty years, our region has born many grassroots tech startups that have evolved into multi-million-dollar companies, including Appian, Cvent, and Blackboard, to name a few. As one of the nation's leading tech councils, NVTC supports today's tech startups hoping to achieve similar success."
Attendees may attend one, two, or all three sessions by registering in advance at nvtc.org/startingpoint. The series is free for NVTC members and non-members. The remaining two sessions of the Starting Point series will convene on September 20 and October 25, 2023, at the KPMG offices.
