Marketing Associate

Company Description

Grit is a venture support network built by operators, for operators.

We bring together ex-CXOs, founders, and experienced builders who have scaled companies, raised capital, built go-to-market engines, and navigated the realities of 01 growth. Instead of traditional advisory or accelerator models, Grit embeds practical execution support into early-stage startups helping them move faster, avoid costly mistakes, and build with clarity.

Alongside direct venture support, Grit operates trnch.club, a curated founder network designed for real operator-led conversations, and RoastTank, a structured feedback platform where startups pressure-test their thinking before scaling.

Our focus is simple: less theory, more building.
