5 years since Startup Grind landed in Zürich! 5 years of supporting the Swiss startup ecosystem with it's goals: Educate, Inspire, Connect.
Our first guest was Johannes Reck (GetYourGuide). 5 years later, 170 million in funding, GetYourGuide will host our celebration and co-founder Tobias Rein will share what they have been up to since then and how the company has grown.
GetYourGuide has since grown into the premier site to book experiences across the globe. Travelers from more than 155 countries have since booked over 18 million tours, activities and sightseeing tickets with GetYourGuide. Now headquartered in Berlin, GetYourGuide has a global team of over 420 in 14 locations around the world. https://inside.getyourguide.com/
