If you need to find our Executive Director LaToya C. Staten (stay-ten) these days...it is not behind a desk! She's on a mission to spread the word about the great work our team has committed to and what our HUTCH companies are up to these days. LaToya will take the stage at #DCSTW25 with a stellar line-up of other rock stars in the #tech ecosystem to talk about Breaking Barriers: Navigating the Government Contracting Landscape & Scaling Through Incubators! In today’s federal contracting climate, emerging tech firms often struggle more from lack of structure, mentorship, and network than from lack of talent. This panel brings together the people building bridges into that space — through accelerators, consulting, and on-the-ground contracting experience. She will share how the Fearless Institute and our Hutch Studio companies are still scaling & making an impact! If you're registered, please stop by their panel tomorrow at 10:35am to listen & learn! Congrats to DC Startup & Tech Week (Formerly DC Startup Week) on 10 years of Innovative Disruption! #FearlessInstitute #BeFearless #EcosystemBuilding #GovTech #TechIncubators #TechSpeaker
