We are Community.
We built an in person community 8 years before Bevy. We live and breathe it. Now we help others do the same: empower those who care to create and connect in real life all over the world.
One of the biggest communities of entrepreneurs!
Startup Grind was founded to educate every founder in the world. The best way to have a global impact is for the community to be in person and build real relationships.
Startup Grind needed the platform to allow the most passionate founder in every city bring together the whole community—that's how Bevy was born!
Our Values
These are the values that guide our company. As we continue to evolve and grow, as a brand and as a human being, these five values remain constant.
Do the right thing.
Nothing supersedes doing the right thing. Legally, morally, ethically, there is only one satisfactory answer to all problems and that is do the right thing. When the line is blurred and answers are unclear, we will treat people as we wish they would treat us.
Unrelenting work ethic.
Good old fashioned hard work beats intellect or experience every single day. All problems have a solution but hard problems require an unrelenting owner. We may not be the smartest people on earth but it will never be said that we were outworked.
Kindness and empathy.
Life is too short not to treat our customers, team members and the product with the respect and kindness our friends deserve. Treat customers with unmatched empathy because they are us and we are them.
Communicate like a legend.
As a remote and diverse team, world-class communication is the only way we work. Clear, concise, and thoughtful messaging no matter the occasion. Saying what's needed is often harder than saying what's easy.
Build a legacy.
We are people that work to facilitate our lives. Taking care of ourselves, our family, our pets, and our responsibilities are critical to the company’s success. From the code we check-in, to the partnerships we build, to the people we hire, to the way we live and treat others, we are playing the long game.
