Startup Grind is the world’s largest community of startups, founders, innovators and builders. We accelerate the tech ecosystem with curated events, expert content, and connections that drive growth.
Go beyond the deck and see the best live tech from New York's emerging startups.
This pitch & demo showcase gives you a first look at new technology from startups that are actively building and shipping product — sometimes even before VCs have seen them!
The format is fast-paced and interactive. After each demo, the floor is open for questions, ideas, and feedback from the audience.
