Our mission at Startup Grind is to give startups everywhere the education and opportunities they need to build, grow, and scale their companies. We strive to help founders, entrepreneurs, and startups succeed, regardless of geographic location or socioeconomic circumstance. We believe a better tomorrow is possible by supporting the innovators and risk-takers of today. 50% of our team are founders themselves, so we know from experience how difficult it can be. It cannot be done alone, and the COVID-19 pandemic has created an even greater sense of urgency. This is why we built a safe haven for emerging startups that share our belief that a better future is on the horizon — because we know it’s up to us to make it happen.

Today, Startup Grind is the world’s largest community of startups, founders, innovators, and creators. We believe in giving back. We believe in making friends. We believe in helping others. We believe in doing good.
