Founders' Exchange
It was one of the big asks during The Founders' Listening Tour earlier this year. Now Enterprise Ireland has partnered with Silicon Republic again to host the Founders' Exchange, a forum for early-stage start-ups, where you get to hear from fellow founders, investors and advisors in a relaxed, interactive setting.
After successful first editions in Dublin and Galway last month, we're back with another Dublin gathering ahead of the Christmas season.
Plus attendees will have access to our Start-up Clinic where you can sit down 1:1 with Enterprise Ireland, LEO (Local Enterprise Office) and Furthr advisors to have your burning questions answered on access to supports for your start-up. Or you can just relax and network with your peers.
Wherever you are on your start-up journey from ideation to fundraising, you’ll leave better informed on all the possibilities – plus you'll make some new friends and have some fun.
