Startup Grind Russia · the annual flagship
From Russia to Silicon Valley
Each spring the global Startup Grind community gathers in Redwood City. We build a curated delegation for founders, investors and ecosystem leaders who want more than a conference ticket: preparation, visibility, relevant introductions and a purposeful stretch in Silicon Valley.
Next delegation 27-28 April 2027, at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City. We land a few days before the conference and stay at least a week after.

What happens on the trip
The shape of the trip
Every delegation is built around the people in it. This is the shape, not a promise.
The days beforeLand, brief, calibrate.
Delegation dinner, final pitch polish, and a plan for the trip, person by person.
27-28 AprilThe conference - or your meetings.
Sessions, the exhibition floor and side meetings for delegates; market-discovery visits for custom groups.
The week afterInto the ecosystem.
Company, university and innovation-hub visits; investor and partner meetings where there’s a fit.
Last daysRoadshow and wrap.
An optional startup roadshow, a peer session on what everyone learned, and next steps agreed before anyone flies home.
Back homeFollow-up support.
Warm threads don’t cool: we help you follow up on the conversations that mattered.
Straight talk
Introductions and meetings depend on participant fit, timing and availability. Taking part doesn’t guarantee investment, customers, visas, admission to private events or a conference speaking slot. Visa questions we answer as information only - it isn’t legal advice. If the conference dates or venue change, the official site ↗ is right and this page is late.
Application
Tell us what you’re going for
We read every application for fit, because the value of a delegation depends on who’s in it.
