On Oct 26, @DMV_Rising (co-sponsored by @virtruprivacy) is Day 1 of DC's new Cyber Innovation Conference. Startups pitch investors at the @DataTribe Challenge on Day 2. It's a smart pairing for the region's cyber scene. dmvrising.com

The amount of crap we put up with from @united is amazing. Totally wrecked our day with incompetence.

We have spent 12 years leaning into our sports and entertainment economy. And it's a part of our economy that's operating very well. By 2030, DC will have: 1. All our professional teams playing in city limits 2. A brand-new NFL stadium 3. An $800M investment completed at Capital One Arena So we'll say it again: DC is the Sports Capital.

I love leading teams who have the grit to see missions that matter through to the end. If you want to help people and keep Americans safe, we are hiring at @IDme.
ID.me has become a $2 billion business that allows individuals securely prove their identity online. Blake Hall's initial idea was to make it easier for veterans to access discounts and other benefits. The company has verified over 90 million identities, among them first responders, educators and, yes, 7.3 million veterans.

We're proud to see our co-founder, Thanasis "Thani" Delistathis, take the stage at the @DCALive Capital Capital Conference 2026 as the keynote speaker for 'What's the Future of VC?" Thanasis has long been a thoughtful voice in the venture ecosystem, and we're grateful for the way he shares his perspective, challenges conventional thinking, and helps shape conversations around the future of innovation and investing. Congratulations, Thanasis, and thank you to DCA Live for bringing together leaders from across the community. #PROOF #venturecapital #thoughtleadership #CapitalCapitalConference #innovation

Mantis is at Capital Capital 2026 by @DCALive today in Navy Yard, Washington, DC. Our CEO Maksym Tereshchenko is joining a great cohort of investors, operators, and builders. As AI advances, the edge shifts to trust, resilience, and quality. We look forward to the discussions.

CertifiKid co-founder Jamie Ratner was sitting in a doctor’s office waiting room watching a popular children’s cartoon with her teenage daughter when it hit her: It was time to sell her business. bizjournals.com/washington/n…

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them. realclearpolitics.com/articl…

Met Daniel Diermeier from Vanderbilt. Very smart and determined guy. Vanderbilt is significantly more prestigious than it was 20 years ago, and it's going to be even more prestigious 20 years from now.

I'm excited to introduce the @BuckstopHQ - Urban Mining Intelligence Platform - we made this video to highlight how we will solve the biggest bottleneck in the circular economy. It isn’t recycling technology - it’s information asymmetry surrounding residual values. We can leverage this data to measure the raw material feedstock in deployed technology assets, aka "measuring the urban mine". We're expanding our valuation work across the renewable energy sector, supporting developers, lenders, and insurers in the space to calculate residual values and streamline end-of-life asset management. If you'd like more information on the platform, please reach out!

@Amtrak here’s the thing. The first class cabin is only worth it if the staff actually offers f&b to passengers. If they ignore you - there’s ZERO value in the premium. #ripoff

Go Gary go! You’re doing amazing sweetie! When the city leaves Christmas trees sitting on the curb, Gary grabs the gloves and gets to work. Just a candidate out here helping clean up the neighborhood one tree at a time. Sometimes leadership looks like showing up and doing the small things that make a difference. #GoodweatherForMayor #DCLivesHere #ExpectMore #DC
