Startup Grind Penang is focused on empowering the local startup community in Penang as well as the whole of Malaysia.
We are a global startup community: 4 million startups in 600 cities and 125 countries worldwide. Giving startups the education, opportunities, and access they need to build, grow, and scale their companies. We believe in making friends, not contacts.
Startup Grind was founded in 2010 when our founder, Derek Andersen got some friends and fellow entrepreneurs 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. Eventually, vibrant Startup Grind communities (“chapters”) began developing in Los Angeles, Tel Aviv, London, New York, Beijing, and many more.
