Importance of Startup Grind in humanitarian efforts
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 firsthand 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 significant group events, and receive help from other likeminded people within the community.
Before entering the medical field, 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).
