The Washington, DC Economic Partnership (WDCEP) is your first point of contact for development and business opportunities in the District of Columbia. They partner with all parties, public and private, interested in making DC a great place to do business. Entrepreneurs and artists, along with budding technology gurus and non-profit visionaries, all come to us for guidance and assistance in mapping out their strategies for success. Whether you plan to start a District-based business, make your existing business more competitive, wish to connect to development and retail opportunities, or simply want to use their research to make better-informed decisions, think of the WDCEP as your economic development resource. AccelerateDC Venture Mentoring Service is a program of the Washington, DC Economic Partnership that is geared toward providing free, confidential mentoring from our network of more than 100 experienced mentors and partners. The program is focused specifically on technology ventures. The program is primarily funded by the private sector while WDCEP is a public/private partnership that gets partial funding from DC Government. We worked with 45 ventures in 2014 (our inaugural year).
