Startup Grind is the leading global startup community, designed to educate, inspire, and connect.

Startup Grind was founded in 2010 when some friends and fellow entrepreneurs got together to crack the same problem they were all facing: the growing challenges of launching a company. What became clear was these obstacles were extensive and stretched far beyond their group. Their gatherings soon spurred a local startup movement that attracted founders and experts from every industry, all coming together to share their advice and inspirations for early entrepreneurs. 

Startup Grind is dedicated to fostering the growth of early-stage companies from bootstrapped beginnings through Series A rounds.

Our mission is to give startups everywhere the education and opportunities they need to build, grow, and scale their companies.

We strive to help founders, entrepreneurs, and startups succeed, regardless of geographic location or socioeconomic circumstance.

We believe a better tomorrow is possible by supporting the innovators and risk-takers of today.

This time we are in Rome both to present our global event in April 2027 in Redwood City, Silicon Valley, to present to startups how to do their job at best and how to start to look for capital in Silicon Valle, and to connect investors, angels and funds from the West Coast and Asia with startups and funds based in Rome that are looking for new capitalization, mentorship, support and much more.

We are waiting for you!
