StartUp Grind is an independent Startup community founded in Silicon Valley powered by Google for Entrepreneurs. StartUp Grind is the largest independent Startup community connecting over 2 million entrepreneurs in over 600 chapters representing approximately 125+ countries. Our mission is to nurture Startup ecosystems in these countries through events, media and partnerships with organisations such as Google for Entrepreneurs. Our main avenue for execution of our mission is monthly events we host, featuring successful local founders, innovators, educators and investors, who share their experiences with aspiring entrepreneurs in regards to the failures they encountered and how they paved the way for their success. We here at Startup Grind aim towards creating a global network based on friendship rather than contact making, where we help each other to do justice to the spirit of entrepreneurship. In line with the global mission of Startup Grind, Startup Grind Lahore hosts prominent personalities, whom may not be as accessible to the general public, so that the Startup community in Lahore flourishes. Startup Grind Lahore, has recently hosted individuals such as Dr Umar Saif: Former Chairman of Punjab Information Technology Board, Ms Iram Bukhari: Secretary Women Development Department, Govt of Punjab, and many more prominent individuals. Through the efforts of our team, and the time spared by these prominent personalities, we hope to reshape the Startup culture in Lahore.
