In the entrepreneurial world, being proactive is incredibly important. One of the best ways to become involved in the community is through events organized and attended by some of the most influential voices of the industry. For education, mentorships, and everything else you need to know about being an entrepreneur, Startup Grind is a fantastic community start. I was invited in their first ever conference in Europe and I immediately felt the great community vibe that every aspiring entrepreneurs would appreciate.
If you are still on the fence about joining the next conference, here are six reasons that might convince you
1. A global community you can trust
Startup Grind’s community is made up from more than 400,000 founders in over 200 cities and 85 countries. Though it is the largest independent startup community in the world, it’s also a very close-knit one. Its members are actively involved in the community in many different forms. Events, media, and professional partnerships with entrepreneurial organizations are just some of the ways through which Startup Grind brings like-minded people together to share ideas, discuss a variety of topics, and generally foster discussions about the startup community.
2. Diverse speakers with rich backgrounds
Since Startup Grind organizes so many different events, it has acted as host to numerous influential figures including CEOs, investors, and other successful entrepreneurs. Speakers at every conference wish to share their views of the startup world and also aid aspiring startups and entrepreneurs in their difficult road ahead. The resulting discussions are of high quality and largely diverse, allowing everyone to form their own opinions based on their own experience and that of others. One of the most high profile and interesting speaker was Alphabet’s CEO, Eric Schmidt.
