Investor perspective
"Grip’s ability to organise virtual events with a key focus on networking has meant that the company has seen tremendous growth over the last year. Event organisers and their clients have been able to remain connected with their customers despite the constraints on in-person events. As live events resume in the future, Grip is extremely well positioned to continue to assist event organisers through the provision of software solutions supporting live, virtual and hybrid events."
