Late last summer, TechCrunch joined forces with StrictlyVC to create smaller, more intimate nights for our readers. Already this year, we have hosted these evenings in San Francisco and Los Angeles, with the co-CEO of Waymo, the co-founders of Anduril and WorldCoin and the founder of the hardware device AI Rabbit, along with top investors such as Elad Gil. Now, we’re heading to Washington, DC for another night of top-notch interviews and unparalleled networking, all in the cozy Woolly Mammoth Theater on Tuesday, June 11.
What to expect
StrictlyVC events offer exclusive, insider content while facilitating meaningful connections between top investors, entrepreneurs and executives. Attendees can expect engaging conversations, thought-provoking ideas and ample opportunities to forge new connections — all while enjoying complimentary cocktails and canapés.
