Startup Grind is a global community that connects entrepreneurs, investors, and experts to help businesses grow. Monthly events, conferences, and online meetings provide helpful advice and resources to encourage teamwork and new ideas.
Since its launch in 2010, it has grown to over 700 cities worldwide, building a helpful network for Startup founders. We, UseTheBitcoin, interviewed Prem Sangeet Petar Savic, Director at Start-Up Grind in London.
What Is Startup Grind?

Startup Grind hosts monthly events, conferences, and online meetings where successful founders, experts, and investors share their advice to help entrepreneurs learn, connect, and grow their businesses. These events provide opportunities for Startup founders to build relationships and improve their knowledge, supporting their journey toward success.
Started in 2010 by a group of entrepreneurs who wanted to solve the everyday challenges of starting a business, Startup Grind soon realized these problems were faced by entrepreneurs everywhere. What began as small meetups grew into a global movement, with local groups in cities like Los Angeles, Tel Aviv, London, New York, and Beijing, bringing together founders and experts to share their experiences and inspire others.
The Core Values Of Startup Grind

Startup Grind’s growth is based on three central values: “make friends, not contacts,” “give first, don’t take,” and “help others before yourself.” These values are similar to the ideas in Web3 and Blockchain on building genuine connections and a supportive community.
By following these values, Startup Grind brings together founders, investors, and partners at monthly events to share advice and strengthen the community. “Grinding” is not just about working hard—it’s about helping others succeed, too.
Innovation Through Collaboration
Startup Grind builds real partnerships with brands like the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) and Coinfest to create opportunities for entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and grow. The community encourages collaboration over competition, creating a culture where everyone can succeed, from tech founders to business partners.

Startup Grind is in over 700 cities across 200+ countries, making it the biggest community of entrepreneurs. With 5 million members, it connects people to share ideas, work together, and get support to grow their businesses, no matter where they are.
More Than Just Events

Startup Grind is not just about monthly events; it offers helpful resources through online platforms, mentorship, and global conferences. These resources give new entrepreneurs the tools to grow their businesses. By connecting entrepreneurs with investors and mentors, Startup Grind creates networks that offer opportunities for investment, collaboration, and business growth.
Who Can Join?

Startup Grind events are open to everyone, with most being free or accessible to all. They also offer a Startup program and have created their own DAO—Startup Grind DAO—where members can enjoy benefits from business partners.
Startup Grind is all about supporting new ideas. Over the next two days, over 150 developers, also known as “hackers,” will work on different projects and present their ideas on stage. The winners will receive great prizes, including $50,000 in cash, tokens, and other rewards.
The Future Of Startup Grind

Looking ahead, Startup Grind plans to keep growing and adapting to the changing world of entrepreneurship. Over the next five years, it aims to reach more regions and improve its digital tools for connecting people. This will help the community continue to develop and support entrepreneurs in new ways.
