Last week, Halcyon was thrilled to be part of major convenings in the DC area adjacent to The World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings: 🌐 GCIC Event: The Ghana Climate Innovation Centre (GCIC) held a panel discussion, “Accelerating Growth for Greater Climate Impact – The Imperative of Scalable Innovation,” at Halcyon, featuring Daniel J. Barker. We were eager to contribute our insights on supporting climate entrepreneurship and to learn from expert panelists Ruka Sanusi, Stacy A. Swann, and Michael Ehst. 🏦 DC Fintech Week: We co-hosted a DC Fintech Week reception with Avenue Z, a group aligned with our mission to support disruptors who are leveraging technology to drive meaningful change. We were grateful that our EquityTech cohort could connect with attendees, especially for our founders working to close equity gaps in the FinTech space. 🚀 DCSTW: Halcyon’s Erna Redzepagic co-led the Startups4Good track at DC Startup & Tech Week (Formerly DC Startup Week), while Dan Barker and many Halcyon alums participated as panelists and speakers. Stay tuned for Erna’s article recap on takeaways from co-leading her track, and view our video recap of the conference here: https://lnkd.in/d6fq3A3q. 🎤 VC in DC / Halcyon Venture Startup Gala: We also co-executed an event with VC in DC’s network of investors and partners to foster collaboration and connections, beginning with pitches from our EquityTech founders. It was an inspiring evening with a group united around making our DC ecosystem even more successful. At Halcyon, we’re proud to be conveners and thought leaders, bringing together key figures for powerful conversations around innovation and impact, all while building valuable networks for our founders.
