Selected from over 1,100 applicants across 80 countries, the Startup Grind Startup Program is an elite group of companies whose founders range from best-selling authors to former Googlers to CERN Physicists and Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees. The 52 Startup Program companies will be given access to Startup Grind’s network of mentors and investors for the purpose of accelerating their pace towards growth and success.

“We started this program after seeing many of the Accelerators and Incubators not doing much to really help companies,” says Derek Andersen, founder & CEO of Startup Grind. “Our biggest goal is for each startup to go back home with a new and improved game plan that would not have happened without the help of the program and the mentors and resources that were made available to them.” 

The Startup Grind Global Conference will take place at the Fox Theater in Redwood City, California, from February 23-24, 2016.
