Where Tech Talent Comes to Grow Exponentially
D.C.-born and Georgetown University-educated, young Amir Zonozi never imagined that he would co-found the sponsorship analytics firm, Zoomph. Working with sports and e-sports teams, leagues, brands, and agencies, Zoomph connects their clients with their audiences through data-driven partnerships on social media. For Zonozi, however, his greatest partnership has been with Reston, VA.
Counting Google and Microsoft among the ranks of its employers, Reston, VA gives growing startups like Zoomph the platform to mingle with the biggest players in tech. And events like Social Media Week Fairfax have kept the company of the forefront of audience analytics thought leadership. To Zonozi, Northern Virginia is both the perfect place to network with like-minded professionals and to strike up casual conversations with tech types in local coffee shops.
In close proximity to both D.C. and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Fairfax NOVA has an energizing cultural mix, inspiring lifestyle amenities, and, of course, the sort of talent ready to take risks and blaze new paths — all factors which Zonozi says attracted Zoomph to, and has kept the company in, Northern Virginia.
“For networking, for looking for people to hire, there are unlimited opportunities. I love the ability to go to professional events in the area.”
