One room. 50 people. The connections that actually change your career.
$45 gets you in the door with bites, a drink, and introductions to people you'd never meet at a free meetup.
Only 50 spots per event. When they're gone, they're gone.
Only members get early access to tickets.
Join The Community To AccessYou go to a networking event and talk to no one useful
You collect business cards that end up in a drawer
You stand in a corner pretending to check your phone
You leave wondering why you paid for parking
We built the opposite of that.
50 people max. Professionals, founders, and operators who are serious about building in the DMV. Everyone paid to be here — that changes the energy.
Every guest gets something at the door that changes how the night goes. We'll leave it at that.
Bites and your first drink are included in the ticket. Show up, grab a plate, grab a glass, and focus on the people in the room.
Rooftops. Lounges. Spaces that match the energy. We pick venues that make you want to stay, not leave early.
A tech conference charges you $200-500 to sit in a chair and listen to panels. A happy hour in the DMV costs you $40+ and you leave knowing nobody new. A recruiter charges 20% of your salary to make one introduction. For $45, you get a curated room, food, a drink, and access to 50 people who could change the trajectory of your career. You do the math.
If any of these sound like you, you belong in this room.
You've been in tech 3-15 years and your network isn't growing fast enough for where you're headed.
You need co-founders, investors, advisors, and first hires. They're in this room.
Product, engineering, design, marketing. You're the one shipping the product — you should know the others who are too.
Everything included. One price. No surprises.
What you get for $45

Let's TalkA room of 50 people who all paid to be there. Bites and your first drink included. A signature experience at the door you won't get anywhere else. And a premium venue across the DMV. Most people spend more than that on a happy hour where they talk to nobody.
Join the free community first. When we drop an event, community members hear about it first. 50 spots, first come first served. If you're not in the community, you'll probably miss it.
No panels. No slides. No awkward name tags. You walk in, you get something at the door that sets the tone for the night, and you spend the evening meeting people who are actually building things. The room does the work.
Across the DMV — DC, Maryland, and Virginia. We pick premium venues that match the energy. Exact location is shared when the event drops.
Professionals, founders, engineers, product people, designers, operators — anyone in the DMV who's serious enough about their network to invest $45 in it. That filter is the whole point.
Because free rooms attract a different crowd. When everyone in the room paid to be there, the conversations are different, the energy is different, and the connections are real. The $45 isn't a cost — it's the filter that makes the room worth being in.
Tickets are non-refundable. We cap at 50 and plan food, drinks, and space around that number. An empty seat means someone else missed out and we still covered your spot. But we get it — things come up. You can transfer your ticket to someone else.
Yes. The community is free. Discord, newsletter, access to the network. No catch. When an event drops, you'll hear about it before anyone else. The event is the only thing that costs money.
Yes. Brand visibility, reserved spots, and access to the community. Email khalif@blktechconnect.com.
You've read the whole page. You already know this is different.
The only question is whether you'll be in the room or hear about it after.
