Welcome to the original Startup Grind Chapter established in February 2009 when nine people showed up in Mountain View California to brainstorm, hang out, and eat cheap pizza. This Chapter has hosted some of the best entrepreneurs Silicon Valley and the Bay Area has ever had. We host an event per month, ranging across all industries and topics for bootstrapped through Series B founders. Stay tuned for new events, venues, and more. We hope you'll join us!
