Each year, DC Inno spotlights some of the region’s top young innovators under the age of 25, and this year we’re featuring a diverse bunch of disruptors, philanthropists and venture capital enthusiasts determined to shake up the status quo.
There’s Steven Pang, a Georgetown University sophomore whose startup, Orbit, is reimagining the video game experience. There’s Chevy Chase native Zach Crilley, whose young company, GovFuse.com, is disrupting the staid world of federal procurement. And there’s Bethesda native Katherine Snedeker, who started a nonprofit to raise money and awareness for a devastating form of brain cancer that took the life of her beloved father.
Some of the nine impressive young women and men featured below are still in college, running their various companies, nonprofits and initiatives while immersed in their studies (and, in the case of Georgetown’s Phoebe Martin, also serving as president of the university’s ski club and its poker club).
Others are recent graduates injecting fresh ideas into established entities like AARP and Motley Fool Ventures. They came to our attention through nominations from professors or colleagues, by winning local pitch competitions or through our own reporting. We hope you enjoy meeting them as much as we did. With that, DC Inno presents its Inno Under 25 class of 2023.
