Startup Grind Boise kicked off its presence in Idaho by bringing in Scott Kupor from Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.  Startup Grind Boise continues to share its access to top global CEOs and Venture Capitalists including Summit Partners, Techstars Ventures, Allegis Capital, and more. Videos of these discussion are available to public by visiting https://www.startupgrind.com/boise/.

What else is Startup Grind Boise doing?  They just finished hosting the first Silicon Valley excursion, where they took 15 startup founders (worth $1M – $20M) to Silicon Valley to meet face to face with investors and successful CEOs including Andreessen Horowitz, Pinterest, Degreed, ProsperWorks, Spectrum Capital and more.

Startup Grind Boise mixed it up with fun highlights of founders sharing box seats with investors at the Warrior’s Game, table tennis coaching for US Olympians (who also happened to coach Google’s top execs — Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt), with a little surfing and paddle boarding in Santa Cruz.

Stay tuned – Startup Grind Boise always hosts the biggest Holiday Bash – free to all entrepreneurs. FYI: Last year close to 300 entrepreneurs joined in and walked away with  dozens of cool prizes.
