Stacia Pache Inspires & Connects PNW Entrepreneurs

Stacia founded the Startup Grind Eastside Chapter in Bellevue, WA to bring together successful local founders and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Building this new chapter required finding the right space, recruiting sponsors, and lining up strong speakers for the fireside chats. The combination of hip event space at OfferUp and a sensational speaker line-up set the course for standing room only events month over month. Initial guests included:

  • Dan Shapiro, CEO GlowForge

  • Henry Albrecht, CEO Limeade, and

  • Dan Price, CEO Gravity Payments

The generosity and openness of guest speakers who share personal stories and lessons learned on the road to building great companies creates a unique opportunity for attendees. The meaningful connections that are formed allow entrepreneurs to tap into a strong network and gain inspiration for their startup journey ahead.

Startup Grind is a global startup community designed to educate, inspire, and connect entrepreneurs. Local chapters host monthly events in more than 600 cities, 125+ countries and have built a global community of 2,000,000 entrepreneurs.

Stacia’s success as an entrepreneur along with her poise and comfort on stage made her the ideal person to lead our new chapter. She inspired our members and ran the monthly meet ups with ease.
