Humans behind startups
We believe in the power of the people who build, support, and invest in startups. It’s these individuals who turn ideas into reality and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
VC Funds
Every year, thousands of investors from over 400 funds/firms come to see who is building the next big thing. You’ll see them on stage, chat with them during Q&A, and find them taking meetings across the venue.
Exhibitors
We select the most promising companies from all over the world to showcase what they’re building and build momentum as part of our Startup Exhibition.
Sessions
Our approach fosters meaningful connections by maximizing opportunities for speakers and attendees to interact through interactive Q&A sessions, pitch sessions, and hands-on workshops.

I came to Startup Grind while we were building Postmates. It’s the best community to surround yourself with as you grow.

That’s why I love that it’s called the Startup Grind. It’s a grind. It’s freaking work. Work is what we do and it’s going to be a grind. As Seth Godin says, "you just gotta learn to dance with it".

Ultimately, what makes an entrepreneur is the internal drive and grit. It’s something that you can’t teach.

Our network spans from angels writing checks on the spot to some of the top venture firms in the Valley. Last year, we scheduled over 400 investment meetings for our exhibiting startups.
Since 2020, our top 100 exhibitors have raised over $1.5B in funding (and counting). From landing mega partnership deals to signing $18M checks on-site, opportunities to propel your startup are endless.
We understand the frustrations of pitching without feedback, feeling isolated, and struggling to find the right support. This conference changes that.
Join us April 27-29 in the mecca of technology and innovation for two days that could change the trajectory of your startup.
