"Silicon Valley doesn't have a monopoly on brilliant entrepreneurs and founders," Derek Andersen tells me over coffee, "so we want to find them wherever they live, give them a stage and an opportunity to share their hard-won experiences with those who need it and might benefit from it." That mission statement sounds like it might have come from one of the founders or mentors of Y Combinator, 500 Startups, DreamIt, AngelPad or Seedcamp. But Andersen isn't a venture capitalist, nor is he building yet another accelerator or incubator. He's not even interested in equity.It sounds crazy, right? But Andersen is talking about Startup Grind, an events-based community for entrepreneurs he founded in 2010. For those unfamiliar, the company grew out the casual, episodic meetings Andersen would have with friends and fellow entrepreneurs in his office in Mountain View, in which they'd get together at night to brainstorm, give feedback on ideas and business models and talk about being an entrepreneur. The meetings were productive, so Andersen decided to make them a monthly thing.
