Join more than 1,000 events and communities that have been started by passionate professionals, organizations, co-working spaces and events for you to get handshakes with fellow members. We started Grip because meeting people online professionally is difficult and time-consuming, we wanted to create a way where it is easy and fun to meet people to work together with on new projects. A place where the networking doesn’t end when you have connected with each other but it is rather the beginning of a new collaboration.

Grip's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
