About Startup Grand Rapids
A place to start. A community to grow.
Connecting the people, ideas, and support that help businesses move forward in Grand Rapids and West Michigan.
Good ideas deserve a starting point.
Startup Grand Rapids is being created as a gathering place for the startup and business community. Our focus is simple: make useful information easier to find, connect founders with mentoring and financial resources, and create more opportunities to meet.
Local roots. Regional connections.
Grand Rapids is our starting point. Our community also welcomes founders, investors, mentors, talent, and organizations across West Michigan, along with virtual opportunities.
A community-supported approach.
Corporate sponsorship helps make resources accessible. We aim to collaborate with the local chamber and business-support organizations; formal partnerships will be shared when confirmed.
