At Startup Grind, supporting emerging entrepreneurs is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every great business starts with someone bold enough to back themselves, and our role is to show up for those people, to create the spaces, the connections, and the community that help early stage founders grow. That is why, when the opportunity comes to rally around the next generation of builders, we do not hesitate.

We are excited to support Regent Business School as they host their Shark Tank Competition on the 3rd of July, where students and emerging entrepreneurs will take to the floor and pitch their ventures for a chance to win a range of prizes. This is more than a competition. It is a moment for young founders to test their ideas, find their voice, and experience what it feels like to back themselves in front of a room. We are proud to be part of that moment.

We have opened a limited number of seats for members of our community who want to come and be part of this experience. If you are a founder, business owner, mentor, or investor who believes in paying it forward, this is your invitation. Come and be the room that these entrepreneurs pitch to. Your presence, your energy, and your feedback could mean more to a young founder than you know.

Come and support the next generation of builders.
