Visionary and Impactful US VC Lolita Taub is visiting Tbilisi on her world tour planning for fund 2. She is exploring 11 tech ecosystems globally as potential startup ecosystems to partner with. We're excited to host her with a small roundtable Friday at 11 AM at Terminal Axis Towers and both learn from her experiences and share the exciting growth in Georgia's startup ecosystem.

On the political side of Georgia we are very concerned, and feel engagement in the political process is very important. We realize the day she is in Georgia is right before election so we are not doing a big event.

But for founders and ecosystem partners who want to connect, we will do a small roundtable. We don't want politics to deprive the ecosystem of connecting with our VC visitor.

Lolita is an amazing and inspiring individual. Rather than waiting passively for interesting startups Ganas Fund 1 was a proactive and strategic fund, focused on community-driven startups. In this era community is becoming more and more important and a differentiator for inspiring startups.

Given Startup Grind's sole essence is community, we really feel her as a sister and ally in bringing people together to foster prosperity.

The space if very limited so plan to come if you really want to learn about community-driven businesses or share perspectives you feel should shaper her understanding of the Georgian startup ecosystem.

Meanwhile, be safe out there, and we pray for the best future of Georgia. As founders know there are good times and bad times, and the success of startups depends greatly on one's ability to be resilient in the hard times. Keep your strength and inspiration up, and take care of yourselves.
