What counts as venture capital here

Funds that invest from a Washington base - independent partnerships writing first cheques from pre-seed through growth, including the govtech, cyber and dual-use specialists the federal customer base feeds.

Angel syndicates without a fund structure, corporate venture arms and the DC policy offices of out-of-town platforms are excluded; they play a different game with different doors in.

Full detail on sourcing and verification is on the methodology page.

Common questions

What makes DC venture different?

The customer. Funds here underwrite companies selling to government and regulated industries, which demands a network most coastal funds do not have. Cyber and defense tech are the obvious edges; health, ed and fintech policy plays follow.

Do Washington VC funds hire analysts?

Rarely and quietly - most run lean teams and fill junior seats through their networks. That is precisely why a direct, well-researched approach outperforms waiting for a posting that never appears.
