Startup Grind Global Conference is an annual event held in the heart of Silicon Valley. It’s a two-day convergence of the world’s most brilliant entrepreneurial minds – from humble bootstrappers to wildly successful investors. It’s also a perfect place for startup founders from all over the world to come together and share ideas, exchange insights, and gain both knowledge and energy to conquer the grind.
I am thrilled to attend the event this year to meet with founders in person and learn about the latest trends, technologies, and strategies that are shaping the business world and startup landscape. If you are heading to the Global 2024, here is my curated list of AI startups that you absolutely need to meet.
