The Mid-Atlantic Venture Association (MAVA) is launching a new program called Forefront to help increase investment interest for D.C. startups.

The Franklin Square-based nonprofit is a membership-based organization that supports private equity and venture capital firms through programming and resources. The new program is part of an initiative MAVA has to expand access to capital and investor resources for area founders.

Forefront 2020 is slated for April 29 to 30 in D.C. and will feature a showcase for startups plus an open invite to investors.

The second day of Forefront will feature a tour and showcase for investors to learn more about emerging tech companies from the D.C. area.
