Derek Andersen
Derek Andersen is the founder of Startup Grind, a global entrepreneurial community that has reached more than a million people across 120+ countries, and the co-founder and CEO of Bevy, the enterprise community-events software that grew out of it. A former Electronic Arts game producer, he left in 2009 to build his own products, failed repeatedly, and turned a once-a-month meetup in his garage into a worldwide network and a company serving customers like Google, Salesforce, and Snowflake. He now also hosts Divot, a weekly podcast of long-form conversations with founders, creators, athletes, and visionaries.
