Events
Startup IQ events are built for early-stage founders navigating real-world challenges. We host webinars and GTM "Office Hours" that deliver no-fluff, practical advice founders can act on right away. Our focus? Helping underrepresented and minority founders cut through the noise and get traction faster.
From cracking customer fit to refining your pitch, every session is a chance to get expert guidance, ask hard questions, and connect with others walking the same path.
Startup Grind Global Conference
In the first quarter of 2026, investors poured roughly $297 billion into about 6,000 startups globally — up around 150% quarter over quarter and year over year. That single quarter accounted for nearly 70% of all venture capital spending in 2025, and topped every full-year total before 2018. By any conventional reading, venture capital is back, and bigger than it has ever been.
