From there, enjoy an exclusive evening in one of D.C.’s most iconic venues, the historic Decatur House, attend masterclasses led by trailblazing instructors, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs at a special VIP reception in your honor where one of our honorees (it could be you!) will receive a check for $25,000 and the title of CO—100 Top Business 2025!

 

Your VIP experience features exclusive opportunities only CO—100 Honorees receive, including:
