Pre StartupGrind '26 - Private Networking of UA Tech Community in SF
Annual Pre–StartUp Grind Gathering For UA Tech Founders, Investors, Science & Tech Leaders
The week of Apr 27th brings a lot of entrepreneurs to Silicon Valey because of two big events - Startup Grind Global Conference and Stripe Sessions.
We're getting together right before the event to meet the people worth knowing before the noise of the global events begins.
Warm introductions, real conversations, and the kind of connections that actually move things forward.
What to expect:
UA founders (local and visitors), investors, FAANG & University leaders, and friends.
Conversations about AI, deep tech, science, fundraising, partnerships, and life in the SF Bay Area
No pitches, no agenda — just good energy and genuine connections
Casual large bar setting — everyone simply orders what they like and pays individually
Hosted by:
Vasyl Dub — Founder of Raisable, Mentor at Stanford (MS&E, STVP), Alchemist Accelerator, Founding Member of the Ukrainian Valley Tech & Science Community, Stanford Longevity Ambassador, and community builder.
In collaboration with:
Network.vc - Venture Fund and Operating System for Independent VC Professionals
Ukrainian Valley Community - Ukrainian Tech and Science Society in Silicon Valley
