Angel group · Washington DC
About
CONNECTpreneur is an angel group based in Washington DC that operates with a sector-agnostic focus. Active since hosting their first event in 2023, the organization works across the regional capital ecosystem, connecting early-stage companies with active private capital without restricting support to specific technological or industrial verticals.
What they run
The group has organized 60 gatherings, focusing overwhelmingly on pitch nights alongside summits and general events. Activity centers primarily in Washington, Baltimore, and Tysons Corner, with occasional sessions in San Francisco. The recurring Big Idea CONNECTpreneur Forum accounts for 56 past editions, and upcoming programming includes in-person Baltimore Forum summits scheduled for November 2026 and February 2027.
Who attends
The primary crowd consists of angel investors, private backers, and founders presenting their businesses. Because the group maintains a sector-agnostic approach and concentrates heavily on pitch nights and investor forums, audiences comprise early-stage entrepreneurs preparing to raise capital alongside regional angels actively looking to review emerging company presentations across diverse industries.
