MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 🚀 

Tuesday marked the launch of Station DC at Union Market District with a crowd of people who believe in this city as a home for frontier tech. 

We would not be here today without the support of DC Council members Phil Mendelson, Kenyan McDuffie and Zachary Parker (and special thanks to Kenyan for welcoming and introducing us to our future home!). ✨
