About Startup Grind

Startup Grind is one of the biggest communities of entrepreneurs in partnership with Google for Startups. 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.

About The Event

Securing a new funding round is a significant milestone for any startup, and often is critical for the continued operation and future scaling of the business. Founders need funds to build and test product prototypes, source the best people for their team, and manage the day to day expenses of the startup.

Fundraising is also one of the hardest most exhausting experiences an entrepreneur will have on their journey. We are excited to welcome Chris Cummings, CEO, and founder of Pass it Down to share his insights on the process. Pass it Down recently raised $860,000 in seed funding.

About The Speaker

Chris originally founded Pass it Down in 2015 as a platform for families to safeguard and tell their stories, preserving their memories digitally.
