About The Grand
The Grand is a modern platform for group coaching. We believe everyone deserves access to a supportive community, especially when navigating major milestones and transitions.
We're a small team, founded by two former leaders at First Round Capital (Anita and Rei's stories). We’ve fundraised from some of the smartest and kindest investors in the world. We're proud to have a diverse and global community. Our community members currently come from 12 countries ranging from Australia to Nigeria to Singapore.
Why We Exist
Loneliness is the biggest health epidemic of our lifetime. One of the main reasons people are lonely is because they don't have confidantes to talk to about important topics. We design products and experiences that foster authentic conversation and create community and belonging. This results in people feeling happier and more fulfilled, and teams feeling more collaborative and connected. Our NPS is 90, and our members love the experience so much, they're "jumping for joy".
