Grip is the first artificial intelligence powered event networking tool to connect and reach their business goals faster. 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.
