RiseUp has grown over the years from a grass-root movement to a global momentum. The purpose behind RiseUp has remained the same: to connect startups to the most relevant resources worldwide. We act as the glue that fuses ecosystems together to help them realize their ultimate potential. By connecting stakeholders to local & global networks, and fusing diverse talents & resources, ecosystems are enabled to accelerate, innovate, and grow. Our mission is accomplished through our four products: Summit, Connect, Explore, and Meetup.

RiseUp MeetUps: All year-round gatherings that engage entrepreneurs across the globe with key stakeholders from various ecosystems including startups, investors, industry experts, and more!
RiseUp Explore: A special program designed to take some of the regions’ best startups to the world’s biggest events, providing them with access to global networks that will help them scale and grow!
