What to expect
Strive Networking hosts this multi-industry networking evening at Mr. Smith's of Georgetown. It is an open format: you can arrive at any time between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, check in, pick up a name tag, and start meeting people. The organizer pitches it as a chance to meet potential business partners, employers, investors, and friends.
Who should attend
The listing names professionals from consulting, analysis, banking, software engineering, entrepreneurship, the arts, finance, tech, real estate, and healthcare. For a founder new to the DMV, this is a general professional mixer rather than a startup-specific program, so it suits early relationship building across industries more than pitching to investors.
