Jingle bells, startup sells, fundraising all the way… 🎶

But on this night, we’re pressing pause on KPIs, cash burn, and conversions to celebrate the holidays Startup Grind style.

Ride on over (in a one-horse open Lyft) and join us for a cheerful evening of mingling, music, drinks, and pure founder joy. Expect a warm crowd of brilliant builders, curious investors, and community partners ready to toast the year gone by.

It’s the one night where the only thing scaling fast is holiday spirit.

Oh what fun it is to celebrate with the Startup Grind family!

Drinks, nibbles and festive delights all night.....plus a surprise visit from Santa (but I won't spoil who that is just yet)

Underground parking available, CalTrain 3 mins walk, or park your sleigh on the roof!
