On this episode of the Startup of the Year Podcast we’re going
to hear an interview that Rich Maloy, our VP of Engagement at
Established, did with Aaron Froug.
Aaron is the Co-Founder and CEO of Grifin, which is a cool new
fintech app that makes investing as energizing as buying your
morning coffee. Basically, the app allows users to invest a dollar
in every company where they spend money. It is pretty amazing and
I’ve never really seen anything quite like it.
Grifin was the People’s Choice Award winner at our Startup of
the Year Summit last Fall and our entire team was pretty excited
about it and most actually downloaded the app. Aaron also talks
about raising capital and other tips and tricks that he has learned
while navigating the waters as a startup
entrepreneur.
We also want to invite all of our listeners to get involved

emerging startups, founding teams, and entrepreneurs push their
company to the next level. We are a competition, a global
community, and a resource.
Startup of the Year is also a year-long program that searches
the country for a geographically diverse set of startups from all
backgrounds and pulls them together to compete for the title of
Startup of the Year.
The program includes a number of in-person and virtual events,
including our annual South By Southwest startup pitch event and
competition. All of which culminate at our annual Startup of the
Year Summit, where the Startup of the Year winner is announced,
along with an opportunity at a potential investment.
