DMV Startup is an organization that cultivates the entrepreneur, startup, and tech community in the Washington D.C. Metro area. DMV Startup was spearheaded in 2014 by Guanxi Innovations founder, Brandon T. Luong. DMV Startup began as a hashtag, #DMVStartup. Brandon created the concept to attract new talent to the startup and tech scene in DC, Southern Maryland, and Northern Virginia (often abbreviated NOVA), hence the name DMV. From there, DMV Startup hosted several events related to entrepreneurship, including happy hours and "Startup BBQ." On November 25th, 2014, DMV Startup published "Welcome to the M*****F******* DMV Startup Handbook," a Google Doc educating people in the DC Metro area about the local startup/technology landscape. What began as a small project to boost the DC Metro startup scene gained enough recognition to become a small organization. Currently, Brandon and his DMV startup team are curating a wiki website (which hopefully you&s;ve noticed...) to showcase local startups, organizations, meetups, influencers, government agencies, and any other relevant resources for the public. In December of 2014, DMV Startup acquired the event branch of Startup Dynamo, a group that holds lean startup workshops, to further educate and rally the DC metro startup community under the DMV Startup moniker.
