Cigars & Startups: Global Founders Night (SelectUSA Week)

Washington, DC is about to fill with global founders, investors, and operators for SelectUSA Investment Summit.
But here’s the twist…
This isn’t just about international companies entering the U.S.
It’s also about U.S. founders expanding outward.

Join us for a special edition of Cigars & Startups DC—an unofficial, independent gathering designed to connect:
🌍 International founders exploring U.S. market entry
🇺🇸 DC-area startups and operators looking to expand globally
💼 Investors, advisors, and ecosystem builders bridging both worlds
When the conference ends for the day… the real conversations start here.

🔥 Expect:

• Cross-border conversations (not just small talk)
• Partnerships between U.S. and international companies
• Insights on entering new markets—from both sides
• A relaxed, off-the-record environment built for real connection

🎯 Whether you're:

• Expanding into the U.S.
• Taking your company international
• Looking for capital or strategic partnerships
• Or just want to meet high-quality people outside the conference halls

You’ll find your people here.
📍 Location: Casa de Montecristo (DC)
💵 Entry: $25
🥃 Note: Because my company (Zccounting) is a bookkeeping and accounting firm, not a licensed tobacco dealer I will not be selling cigars and your ticket only includes "entry" to the VIP lounge and event, however, I'm super generous and will share as many cigars as you can smoke at the event from my personal collection for no additional fee whatsoever!
