Startup Grind hosts events in over 500 cities and 120+ countries around the world and two flagship conferences every February and June in Silicon Valley and London. On a monthly basis, our chapter teams bring together their local communities of early stage startup teams, entrepreneurs, creators, and tech enthusiasts for impactful networking, education, and inspiration. All of our speakers generously donate their time to educate and give back to this community.
A Startup Grind event isn’t a keynote or a product pitch. It’s an intimate fireside chat between our Chapter Director, investor or reporter and an experienced founder, CEO, investor, or thought leader. At the conferences, we showcase a variety of sessions including workshops and keynotes, aimed at a target demographic from within startup teams (engineers, developers, operations, women in tech, etc.) The purpose of all content is to educate our community as they navigate the challenges that come with building a company or innovating from within a larger organization.
For the Global Conference, we will stop accepting submissions after October. For the London Conference, we will stop accepting submissions after April.
Every Startup Grind event is recorded with full audio and video for potential distribution on our YouTube channel, which draws over 50,000 viewers and listeners every month with over 10 million minutes watched. You may use the video and audio collateral for promotion and media in the future; though Startup Grind reserves all rights to the content for commercial purposes. The Global Conference mainstage is also live-streamed.
