GridNet Group builds category-defining media, experiences, and platforms at the intersection of technology, culture, and wellness.
We don’t just watch trends — we build the infrastructure, brands, and spaces that shape what’s next.
GridNet is new, but it carries twenty years of execution, intelligence, global networks, and technology, compounded.
We’ve been convening people around what’s changing and what’s next long enough to be recognized as pioneers and award-winning market leaders. Founded by entrepreneur Ingrid Riley, GridNet has produced 380+ experiences across 35+ countries and Diaspora hubs, connected 150,000+ entrepreneurs, creators, executives, and investors, built a network spanning 60+ countries, and helped connect founders to more than US$10 million in capital.
What started with SiliconCaribe in 2005 and the now iconic Kingston BETA in 2007 is now a thriving portfolio running across the Caribbean and its global Diaspora hubs — including New York, Miami, London, Atlanta, and Toronto. We’ve earned the trust and partnership of unapologetically disruptive startups, creators, investors, institutions, governments, and global brands like Google, Meta, AWS, DBJ, Black Tech Week, InfoDev, Mastercard, SXSW, and Microsoft.
Now, we’re building what comes next.
GridNet builds category-defining media, communities, experiences, and platforms at the intersection of technology, culture, and wellness across the Caribbean and Diaspora.
This next chapter expands our roots in technology into wellness and culture — a broader portfolio built by Caribbean minds, connected to the world. New businesses. New communities. New experiences. New ways for people to connect, participate, and do business.
GridNet creates and operates businesses that bring people, ideas, experiences and opportunities together across the Caribbean and its global diaspora.
We build media brands that tell the stories, surface the ideas and spotlight the people and businesses shaping what’s next.
We create communities where ambitious people can connect, collaborate, share knowledge and build meaningful relationships.
We produce experiences that bring people together in the real world — from intimate gatherings to major events and cultural moments.
We build digital platforms and marketplaces that make it easier for people and businesses to discover, connect, participate and do business.
The technologies, businesses and ideas transforming how we live, work and connect.
Founders, investors, engineers, fintech operators, and the diaspora capital that funds them. Our oldest and deepest world — and the one where our brands hold outright category leadership.
The people, products and experiences shaping how we live better, feel better and thrive.
Longevity, healthtech, traditional and unique wellness practices, and the practitioners, spaces, experiences and products redefining modern Caribbean and global wellness.
The creators, stories, entertainment, experiences and movements shaping how the world sees and experiences us.
Creators, music, food, books, film, and the Caribbean creator economy — the region’s most exportable asset, and the one with the least infrastructure behind it. That gap is the opportunity.
Six operating brands across three worlds. Select one to read what it is, who it serves, and where it runs.
GridNet partners with brands, businesses, destinations, institutions and governments to build experiences, platforms, communities and markets across the Caribbean and its global diaspora.
Entering a market. Launching something new. Reaching an audience. Building a community. Creating a moment people talk about for years. Whatever the ambition — we bring the global network, tech, strategy and the execution to make it real.
Build your presence across the Caribbean and Diaspora.
We help organisations read the market, find the right partners, earn visibility and build real entry points into the region.
Turn a brand, an idea or an industry moment into an experience.
From intimate gatherings to regional flagships, we get the right people in the room — and give them a reason to stay connected long after they leave it.
Turn attention into belonging.
We build the communities and content that earn trust, relevance and long-term relationships with the people you want to reach.
Build the platform where the right people meet.
We design and operate marketplaces and curated environments that connect buyers, brands, founders, creators, investors and capital.
Some opportunities need a different kind of partner.
GridNet works with selected founders, companies and institutions to develop concepts, test ideas and launch new ventures across Technology, Wellness and Culture. We bring the people, the relationships, the technology, the distribution and the execution.
You’re not hiring a production team.
We’ve done great things for startups, global brands, governments, investors, creators, and institutions — and we know how to turn people, ideas, and relationships into things that move.
