The new tech incubator Station DC is launching a membership club that aims to connect tech and policy players.
Why it matters: The group is building a space in Union Market to welcome startup founders and companies in the tech and defense world who are based in the DMV and beyond.
State of play: Station DC intends to offer members networking opportunities, private briefings and dinners, and panels that touch on key industries.
- "Across frontier industries—such as space, defense, energy, autonomy, healthcare, and more—business leaders are betting on D.C.'s unique role as the capital of innovation and policy," a press release said.
Zoom in: It's $500 a year for tech startups based in the District, while those based outside the city would pay $1,500. Government groups or nonprofits are also priced at $1,500. All other groups or individuals are priced at $2,500.
- The space is being built above the buzzy Pastis restaurant, with a target opening of late June to early July, the head of Station DC, James Barlia, tells Axios.
- Applications are now open on their website.
Catch up quick: D.C. is trying to court more startups, and it helped Station DC get off the ground with $2 million in funding last year.
