Pictures from our Inspiring Weekend with Samuel Gwott

It was an insightful conversation that touched on essential topics for entrepreneurs: cultivating the right mindset, creating structure for your business, leveraging teamwork, and the importance of collaboration.

Every now and then I re-watch the Jason Fried fireside chat from Startup Grind Global Conference 2016. So many takeaways from that chat including a couple of standing ovations for saying simple truths like no one should work more than 40h per week.

founders if you're in a tier 2 / 3 city the best thing you can do is get to SF, even if just to work and make friends for a few weeks.

this is why organizations like Startup Grind and Y Combinator are important, but even if you're not picked... show up.

Wrapping up Startup Grind/@Cmx week in Silicon Valley and feeling so lucky to have new and old friends part of these communities. So many amazing people in the world inspiring me. ❤️❤️❤️

“It’s important for founders to know what metrics matter for the specific chapter of their business they are in.”

At Startup Grind 2024, GV’s Michael McBride shared his insights on product market fit, the VC and founder relationship, and traction that matters.

Global 2024, that's a wrap!

As Garry Tan said today— 'you always remember the people who believed in you at the beginning'.

We hope you'll stay in touch with the new friends you made here and get involved with the Startup Grind chapter in your city to go further, together.…
