Sign up for SG VIP! In the SG VIP Circle, we’ll be offering more personalized approaches, exclusive opportunities, special offers, and curated connections. Think of it as a "premium" Startup Grind experience with a next-level "startup concierge" service where VIPs can expect more one-on-one time, exclusive access to certain community features and top-tier speakers, private events, and be the first to know about select SG happenings.
Support SG by becoming a $5 Fan and giving to our organization. You can donate $5 or purchase a $5 ticket at any of our events. Startup Grind is a 100% volunteer opportunity that operates very similarly to a nonprofit. Every dollar counts, and we can use your support. Thank you again!
