Event Legacy
Created by Matt Vaadi, Founder and CEO of guHRoo (formerly ERG), the Growth Summit started in 2015 as a small group of folks trying to learn more about how to create a great company. Through the years, the event has grown in size and scope with the goal of becoming Columbia’s flagship event for entrepreneurship and innovation. In 2020, the event was handed over to GrowCo to lead.
