Join your fellow startup and tech community members to celebrate the end of the Flower City AI conference and the end of another amazing year!
Our mission is to give startups everywhere the education and opportunities they need to build, grow, and scale their companies. Startup Grind realizes many bootstrapped and early stage startups can be 1 person teams or don't have the opportunity to throw a lavish holiday party, so we wanted to get the community together in more-is-better fashion! Catch up and share your accomplishments with founders, creatives, devs, investors and the rest of our supportive community.
Get your tickets to the Flower City AI Conference here. Flower City Conference attendees will have free admission to the afterparty.
