Hi friend and welcome to Startup Grind Charleston! Our mission is to give startups everywhere the education and opportunities they need to build, grow, and scale their companies.
We believe in:
- Making friends, not contacts.
- Giving first, not taking.
- Helping others before helping yourself.
We are truly passionate about helping founders, entrepreneurs and startups succeed. We intend to make their startup journey less lonely, more connected and more memorable. We follow a simple golden rule: give, rather than take.
If this sounds exciting to you, please join us at our next event or reach out to our team to get involved!
Until then, keep grinding!
