Documentary Series on DC Tech Startups Launches a New Kickstarter [Video]
June 25th - via: inthecapital.streetwise.co
People always talk about the burgeoning startup community in D.C. picking up momentum, and how the current tech movement is setting new precedents for the level of innovation in this city.
