We’re excited to share that our annual conference has a fresh, new look! https://hubs.ly/Q02TjPTY0 Since 2013, this event has been the cornerstone of the Startup Grind community. While the tech world has evolved tremendously over the past 12 years, the power of community remains. In the world of startups, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by pitches, cold outreach, and fundraising pressures. But at Startup Grind, we champion a different approach. We understand that thriving isn’t just about the next big idea or cutting-edge technology; it’s about the people behind them—their journeys, insights, and lessons learned. It’s about fostering a community where knowledge is shared and everyone is eager to listen and learn. The Startup Grind Conference accelerates the world for 48 hours in the heart of Silicon Valley promoting collaboration over competition, where genuine connections are formed and deals are done. A big thank you to our friends at SERIOUS.BUSINESS for their creative vision and execution on this project!

Hey everyone! 🙌🏽 I’m super excited to share three upcoming events that are going to be really beneficial for startup founders, all thanks to HubSpot For Startups and a fantastic group of people I really admire, including our own Rajiv 'RajNATION' at Startup Grind & Startup Hypeman, Walter Mannino at HubSpot for Startups, George at Coconut VA, Carol at True Wind Culture LLC, Christine at PS27 Ventures, Rich at SpringTime Ventures, Jeff at Forecastr, and Jimmy at The Human Aspect. 👏🏽 👇🏽 Check out the events: 1. How to Not Suck at Pitching Your Startup: HubSpot is teaming up with Raj, the founder of Startup Hypeman, to help you nail your elevator pitch and grab the attention of investors and customers. When: Wednesday, October 9th | 12:00-1:00 PM CST Register Here: https://lnkd.in/eyDDAqiu 2. Pitch Perfect: Pitch to VCs & Get Live Feedback: Join a fun live session where a few lucky startup founders will pitch their ideas to seasoned investors and get real-time feedback. It’s a unique chance to learn from the pros! When: October 15, 2024 | 4:00 PM ET Register Here: https://lnkd.in/eewkXYSC 3. Navigating the Mind - Startup Stories about OCD, Anxiety, and Panic Attacks: This session will dive into the personal stories of entrepreneurs who have faced mental health challenges while building their startups. You’ll gain insights into managing your mental health and hear valuable lessons along the way. When: October 29th | 12:00-1:00 PM EST Register Here: https://lnkd.in/e3AKCU9M These topics are super important for anyone in the startup world. Knowing how to pitch your ideas effectively can seriously change the game—it's often the difference between landing that crucial investor meeting or going home empty-handed. Plus, mental health is something we all need to prioritize. The hustle can be intense, and it’s easy to let stress and anxiety take over. By talking openly about these issues, we not only help ourselves but also create a culture where everyone feels supported. Sharing our experiences and challenges can lead to valuable insights that help us all grow stronger, both as entrepreneurs and as a community. I really encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities! You’ll pick up some great knowledge and skills that will help you on your entrepreneurial journey and boost your well-being as founders. Feel free to share these events with your network, and I hope to see you there!
