I have been a member of other Angel groups and hands-down K Street Capital has the best quality deal-flow, members and esprit de corps."

- Julian Ha

Executive Recruiter
at Heidrick & Struggles

We started K Street Capital back in 2012 as we saw a significant opportunity to build a community of the DMV’s emerging business leaders and connect them with entrepreneurs that could tap into their experiences, networks, and of course, capital. What started as a “supper club” has grown into a significant force in the angel investing community with a bold vision for the future"

- Richard Leggett

Chief Executive
Officer at FrontierView

What I love about K Street is that there is a moment during our meetings when members are exchanging their perspectives and the room really becomes energized. It’s always professional, but there’s also passion as members leverage their experience and insight to decide whether they will invest."

- Philip Lepanto

Vice President of
Customer Success at DigitSec

I was a part of an informal angel group that was growing but didn't have the infrastructure to scale. In K St. we found the management and scale to be a part of something bigger. A bigger group with better investment management and tracking has led to fantastic deal flow, great results, and a lot of fun."

- Zach Axelrod

Chief Development
Officer at SmartAC.com

It's not by chance that K Street Capital has become the pre-eminent early-stage investment network in the nation's capital. It's because of its professional management and due diligence methodology, committed and sophisticated investor members, and a proactive entrepreneur-friendly mindset."
