Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
1776 a global startup incubator based in Washington, DC.
Maryland has its I-270 biotech corridor, Northern Virginia is looking to diversify its advanced industries to be less reliant on a shrinking government defense budget, and D.C. is trying to attract startups promoting its own tech corridor. But some say our region could easily be a heavyweight across a range of tech industries by focusing on the unique assets here instead of trying to be the “next Silicon Valley.”
Guests
- Mark Muro Senior Fellow and Policy Director, Metropolitan Policy Program, Brookings Institution
- Jonathan Aberman Managing Director and Chairman, Amplifier Ventures
- Donna Harris Co-founder, 1776
