We have spent 12 years leaning into our sports and entertainment economy.
And it's a part of our economy that's operating very well.
By 2030, DC will have:
1. All our professional teams playing in city limits
2. A brand-new NFL stadium
3. An $800M investment completed at Capital One Arena
So we'll say it again: DC is the Sports Capital.
I love leading teams who have the grit to see missions that matter through to the end. If you want to help people and keep Americans safe, we are hiring at @IDme.
We're proud to see our co-founder, Thanasis "Thani" Delistathis, take the stage at the @DCALive Capital Capital Conference 2026 as the keynote speaker for 'What's the Future of VC?"
Thanasis has long been a thoughtful voice in the venture ecosystem, and we're grateful for the way he shares his perspective, challenges conventional thinking, and helps shape conversations around the future of innovation and investing.
Congratulations, Thanasis, and thank you to DCA Live for bringing together leaders from across the community.

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.
