🎉Launching Grasshopper Grants for the Venture135 Conference

Grasshopper Bank is excited to partner with Queen City Fintech to extend 10 free conference tickets to founders to participate in the Venture135 conference — the premier venture conference focused on quality deal flow and innovation in the fintech, insurtech and healthtech ecosystems, happening November 16th to 20th.

The Venture135 conference is focused on bringing together the best venture capitalists, angel investors and growth funds while showcasing the top Seed, Series A and Series B ready companies from across the world. The conference is incredibly focused on meaningful connections, and is intentionally more intimate in size to create a contrasting experience to those thousand plus person events. We believe it’s a phenomenal opportunity to get in front of and connect with top investors, something that is so much more challenging in the virtual world we live in now.

Why are we doing this?

At Grasshopper Bank, we know that industry events offer unique opportunities to learn, build your network and community — and as such are vital for founders. We are committed to ensuring that having the money for conference admission is not a barrier to attend and through our Grasshopper Grants program we cover 100% of the admission price for a certain number of founders, who for whatever reason are not able to cover the cost of admission to attend critical events nationwide throughout the year.

Sounds like something you could benefit from? We’ve created a simple application to apply for the grant for Venture135, here.

The deadline to apply is November 6th, 2020.

Please note that the grant provides you with a free conference ticket. If you want to apply to present at the pitch competition, you can do so here. You don’t need a conference ticket to pitch and it is free of charge. The deadline to apply is November 2nd.

Deep thanks to the Queen City Fintech and Venture 135 team for partnering with us to support this initiative.
