COLUMBIA, MD, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CloudOffix, an AI-native business operations platform, today announced its participation in DC Startup & Tech Week 2026 as a Community Sponsor. Founder and CEO Gokhan Erdogdu will also participate in a panel on what it takes for international founders to succeed in the United States. As part of its support for the startup community, CloudOffix will provide complimentary LaunchPad packages to the event’s pitch competition finalists.

DC Startup & Tech Week takes place Oct. 19–23, 2026, bringing together founders, investors, business leaders and startup supporters from across Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. CloudOffix’s involvement combines community sponsorship, participation in the founder conversation and access to business technology for emerging companies.

Erdogdu will join the panel “Crossing Borders: What It Takes for International Founders to Succeed in the U.S.” His participation brings the perspective of an international founder building a U.S. presence and developing relationships within the region’s business and startup communities.

“Building a company in a new country means learning how to earn trust, build relationships and understand a different market,” said Erdogdu. “That is why being part of the local founder community matters to us. Through DC Startup & Tech Week, we want to share our perspective, learn from other founders and contribute practical support as they build their businesses.”

“DC Startup & Tech Week brings founders together to learn from one another and connect with resources that can help their businesses grow,” said Rachel Koretsky, founder and CEO of DC Startup & Tech Week. “We welcome CloudOffix’s involvement as a Community Sponsor, Gokhan’s perspective as an international founder and the company’s support for our pitch finalists.”

CloudOffix will also provide pitch competition finalists with complimentary CloudOffix LaunchPad packages. Designed for startup teams of up to 10 users, LaunchPad provides access to connected business applications for sales, marketing, project management, customer support and collaboration. The contribution is intended to help finalists establish the operational processes behind their growth and explore practical uses of AI in their day-to-day work.
