Mercku
“We were able to establish some phenomenal business opportunities. We met and connected with numerous investors who expressed interest in us. We met with a former Google Senior director of ecommerce who loved our business model and not only seeks to invest himself but promises to use his influence to get us into a meeting with Google as he believes Google would likely want to partner or total acquisition!”
Maryland Startup
“My favorite part of the entire event was the roundtable discussions at Google. The opportunity to meet in a small group of other founders around a particular topic with an expert was incredibly insightful.”
Maryland Startup
“Startup Grind was a rewarding experience! The openness of the organising team to “give first” really set the tone for the conference. We were able to connect with like minded entrepreneurs and savvy investors. The location was magnificent and all the networking opportunities enabled us to meet interesting people from across the Globe!”

“Startup Grind Global Conference was so amazing that our team had more than 250 people sign-up our service at the booth in a day and got connected to several potential investors”
Swit Technologies
“It was our first time in the event and we’re in talks with some VCs that heard our pitch or visited our startup booth, It was amazing as an entrepreneur from LATAM living the Silicon Valley ecosystem experience.”
Kolonus
“Startup Grind is great for startups to meet other folks in the same journey. It’s a great place to learn and understand how others are building their startups. It’s a lot of people to meet but I think the value is in that shared experience as well as having the opportunity to meet VCs who can make those things happen”
Airalo
“Our experience as an exhibitor at the 2023 Global Conference was great. We had the opportunity to showcase Otis to a diverse audience of industry professionals, investors, and potential clients. The most exciting result has been the overwhelming interest and positive feedback we received. Many attendees expressed enthusiasm for our AI-driven marketing platform and saw the potential it holds for their own businesses. Some of the VCs we met even invested in Otis.”
OTIS AI
“Startup Grind was the first in-person event our startup attended. They attracted the right crowd, and the investor/mentor meetings they booked for us during the event were invaluable and have a high likelihood of bearing tangible growth for our business”
Realkey
“Two weeks after the exhibition, we are still overwhelmed with key points of contact reaching out for more information and opportunities to collaborate. This was probably the most important 48 hours of our startup journey to date”
