🚀 Introducing Catalyst: Find Your Idea
​A first step into entrepreneurship for current DCU students.
​Curious about startups, entrepreneurship or building something of your own — but not sure where to start? Start here.
​Join us for the first event of the year at DCU Innovate Catalyst, DCU’s new home for student entrepreneurship.
​You don’t need a startup. You don’t need a team. You don’t even need an idea yet. Just bring your curiosity.
​👋 What’s happening?
​5:00–5:30 | Arrive, meet & connect
Drop in, meet other DCU students interested in building things, swap ideas and see who else is around Catalyst this year.
​5:30–6:30 | Meet Catalyst + Find Your Idea
We’ll introduce what Catalyst is, how we can help you turn an idea into action, and all the ways you can get involved — from challenges and workshops to funding, coaching and founder support.
​Then we’ll get practical: how do you actually find an idea worth pursuing?
​We’ll look at how to spot interesting problems, talk to potential users, test your assumptions and use customer discovery to move from “I want to build something” to “this might actually be worth building.”
​6:30–7:00 | Stick around & chat
Meet potential collaborators, talk through an idea, ask questions or just get to know the Catalyst community.
​💡 This is for you if…
​You’re a current DCU student and you’re already working on an idea, you’ve been thinking about starting something, or you have absolutely no idea what you’d build yet.
​Come along, meet some people and take your first step.
