What is Start-Up Grind?
-------------------------------------
With 3,000 founders and investors, more than 40 keynote and fireside sessions, and over 50 exhibiting startups, I applied for a competition to exhibit FREE at Startup Grind's largest event ever in Silicon Valley (CA) in Feb 2017. In December 2016 I found out I had won.

Start-up Grind agreed to give us FREE:
1.Demo area in Exhibit Hall
2.Digital Branding within StartupGrind.com
3.Visibility to Start-up Grind Network of 200+ Investors
4.$120,000 IBM Cloud Credit
5.5,000 Potential New Customers
6.An Opportunity to Guest Blog with StartupGrind.com

I need to fund up to four adults (inc. me) to get there to take advantage of what I have won. We need to pay for:
4 x Adult return flights @ £600 each
2 x 3 star twin hotel rooms for 7 nights @ £1000 each

Any support you can offer me would be very much appreciated.
