The first ever Startup Grind Buffalo was held last night at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, Co-Work Space called D!G Buffalo. I helped organize the event and took most of the pictures for this event.
What is Startup Grind, you ask? Startup Grind is an International Organization with over 100 chapters and is powered by Google for Entrepreneurs. It is a global startup community designed to educate, inspire and connect entrepreneurs.

So now you know a little more, what happens at a Startup Grind? Its a speaker series that will be done monthly, with some of the top entrepreneurs in our area and a few from outside the area. It is a great networking event, with a fireside chat with our monthly guest. Our host and coordinator Eben Piazza did a great job with our first guest, Leslie Zemsky from the Larkin Development group. Leslie's title is "Director of Fun" and let me tell you her title fits her very well! We had over 50 people in attendance and the space at D!G was perfect.
Thank you to all that helped, sponsored and attended. This event shows Buffalo is truly moving forward in every way!
Here are some pictures of the event.
