Startup Grind

Startup Grind is one of the biggest communities of entrepreneurs. Our mission is to help every entrepreneur in the world. We do so by hosting a monthly recurring event to inspire, educate, and connect entrepreneurs.

The Speaker

DOUGLAS VIGLIOTTI is a writer that didn’t know he was a writer. He’s authored two books, The Gap and The Salesperson Paradox, and one ebook, Pumpernickel & Peanut Butter. He also writes about life, ideas, and music at DVWriter.com and curates a monthly newsletter called Sunday Dinner. He currently lives in New Haven, CT.

Pitch Competition

We're giving 3 entrepreneurs an opportunity to pitch their idea/startup! The pitch competition is designed to help local entrepreneurs with early-stage companies (or even an idea) to gain exposure and experience when it matters most. The judges will be the audience who will vote live at the end of all three pitches. Each pitch is two minutes followed by a 4 minute Q&A.
