1. Sponsorships for Startup Grind Global Conference 2018

Have you got any sponsor who might be interested in partnering with us for the annual flagship conference in February 2018? We are more than happy to talk! They can be ex-speakers that want to take their business to the next level by building awareness on a global level. Or they can be a sponsor that you’ve worked on a local level but actually has a global presence (ie. a multinational company).

The partnerships team can help you secure a sponsor for global by providing you a custom slide deck and jumping on a call with the prospect sponsor. You can get a 10% finders fee on every introduction that ends with a contract signed off!

Interested? Drop us a line at partnerships@startupgrind.com and we’ll be more than happy to discuss in more detail.

2. Startup Grind Barcelona Summit

Calling all Chapter Directors in South West Europe, North Africa and beyond! We REALLY cannot stand the idea of just seeing you once or twice a year, in Redwood City and/or London. We are organising a two-days conference in Barcelona between October 9-10th with some of the best speakers from Silicon Valley and Europe.

Please, fill out this form so we can organise better. We want to know whether you're interested in receiving more information, and, if you're coming, to what extend you want to be involved with the conference.

Thanks in advance! Moltes gràcies!

3. Want to be featured globally? Pick a clip!

This fall we are trying a fun, new marketing series that will include clips from interviews that you, our awesome Directors, have done. Want to be featured?  Pick a video clip and submit it!We need a handful of 30-60 second video clips.  If you captured some succinct wisdom on any topic we want to see it.  Simply complete this quick form: https://goo.gl/forms/Fr0zyS6IOLgI5u5i2 (note it asks for Growth Hacking clips but you can submit clips on ANY topic) :)  You can submit more than one clip, just complete the form again for each additional clip you wish to submit. The video we create from these will be shared globally!
