Importance of Startup Grind in humanitarian efforts
February 20, 2020
Startup Grind is an established virtual environment connecting over 2 million startups and venture capitalists in over 125
countries through more than 600 chapters. It nurtures startup ecosystems through partnerships with organizations such
as Google for Startups. It is also a great place to raise concerns to other likeminded entrepreneurs, states Margaret L.
Salmon, M.D. Dr. Salmon’s recent humanitarian efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia have been
lauded, but she believes more businesses should be involved.
For humanitarians, Startup Grind is a great way to learn rsthand
knowledge from experienced entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.
Sometimes, humanitarian efforts need to be based on sustainable
measures rather than be limited to certain constraints like supplies and
budget. Besides learning from business people, Startup Grind also
features innovators, educators, and investors who share their ideas
toward building great companies.
Humanitarians can also look to Startup Grind as a way of making
connections with other startups and venture capitalists who can support their cause. With over 2 million members, it
would be a waste of opportunity not to try and connect and build a network of supporters to secure funding, even if the
venture is not toward making money.
Margaret L. Salmon, M.D., believes that such opportunities are rare to
come by, even in a vastly digital world. Startup Grind can provide
humanitarians with a voice that connects to all its members. This
simple interface allows people to write their entries, join chapters, be
part of signi cant group events, and receive help from other likeminded
people within the community.
Before entering the medical eld, Margaret L. Salmon, M.D., was an
entrepreneur for 15 years. She graduated from the University of
Washington School of Medicine and completed her Emergency Medicine residency at the University of California San
Francisco. Dr. Salmon also has a Master’s in Public Health from Harvard with a focus on humanitarianism (specializing in
humanitarian aid at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative). For more reads on her humanitarian works, visit this page.
