What members are saying
"The LA Grind Club is genuinely one of the best communities I've found in LA. Between the poker nights, hikes, and coffee meetups, it doesn't feel like networking; it feels like you're just spending time with people you genuinely like. Everyone in the room is always willing to go above and beyond, and I always leave feeling more energized and ready to take on the world."

"Every time I go to an LA Grind event, it just feels easy. There’s no pressure, no pitching, no angles, it's just genuinely good people who are curious about what you’re building. Whether it’s a beach walk, breakfast, or happy hour, I always leave having had real conversations with people I actually want to stay in touch with. Justin has built something really special, and it makes you want to keep showing up."

"The LA Grind Club has some of the most genuine people in LA's startup ecosystem. Every event I've been to, from the holiday party to the basketball runs, I've walked away having met people I actually keep in touch with."

A note from Justin
I started The LA Grind Club because I know how powerful it is to be surrounded by ambitious people.I grew up in the suburbs of Milwaukee with almost no access to that kind of energy. Things changed when I moved to LA for my MBA at USC and finally met founders, operators, and investors who pushed me to think bigger and take more risks.Working solo later on, I realized how hard it is to consistently find people like that in LA.The LA Grind Club exists to create that environment. A place where ambitious people can meet consistently, build real relationships, and feel supported in what they are trying to build.Justin
