Startups in DC? 
daveambrose: I went to school in DC for four years and moved to Manhattan with my roommate (now co-founder) to start our company. At the time, the tech scene wasn't really alive and well (this was 2006-2007), but I've seen more of my friends enter the field with more consumer-facing companies - rather than those startups that siphon into the government. It's a good time to be in DC now.Here's some resources you want to check:- Social Times (DC based tech blog that covered a lot of DC companies) - http://www.socialtimes.com/- iStrategyLabs (interactive PR/ad agency; Peter holds a ton of meetups in the area and practically knows everyone; feel free to email me for an introduction) - http://www.istrategylabs.com/- Anyvite (DC/MD social invitation/events startup; a YC company and all around cool guys) - http://anyvite.com/home
