About this event

Building and scaling a startup is challenging — we know this firsthand at Paystack. So, we're hosting the founders of 3 startups at different growth stages to have honest conversations about their journey — the good, the bad, the struggles!

We'll dive deep into how each founder solves for fund-raising, hiring top talent, international expansion, customer support, partnerships, and much more.

By the end of this event, you'll leave with practical insights on smart ways to build a startup, either as a founder or as an operator.


About Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Month

This month Startup Grind is celebrating DEI month, presented with SVB and supported by Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs. DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; 31 days to emphasize the importance of diversity across our global startup ecosystem, and what it means to all of us. We are so excited to take this time to recognize and amplify the voices of leaders in our globally diverse communities, providing a platform for those that may not have been heard previously.

In addition to this event, you can also view Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Month events taking place across our global startup community here or register for our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Summit here.
