Taking place on the 22nd of July 2018 at 4 PM at the Dialog Axiata Auditorium Colombo,  OutSmartHub, Blue Lotus 360 and Bundle Hub will be coming on board as Platinum, Gold, and Silver sponsors respectively.

Get ready for Startup Grind Colombo

Born out of the Silicon Valley in 2010, Startup Grind is the largest independent startup community. They connect and work with more than one million entrepreneurs across 365 cities across the world. Aiding startups in 120 countries, Startup Grind also establishes partnerships with organizations such as Google for Entrepreneurs.

What happens at a Startup Grind?

A typical Startup Grind event features local founders, innovators, educators, and investors. These individuals would share lessons that they have learned along their journey of building the next big multi-billion-dollar company. Through monthly meetups, Startup Grind aims to reach out to help startups by means of monthly meetups.

What is Startup Grind Colombo?

Well, to put things simply, think of it as the localized version of a Startup Grind. This includes sessions by local entrepreneurs and innovators as well. In terms of building a community, we would have Takas.lk, Epitom Digital and V-ignite coming onboard as startup community sponsors.
