We were delighted to open our doors again to our members after 3 long months of self-isolation. Following all government procedures in terms of health and safety, our space is fully adapted to meet the needs of our members who are eager to return to business. We were invited to share insights on the challenges facing entrepreneurs and startups at this time, alongside a number of a our regional partners

We are thrilled to be hosting another 6-week accelerator for Ireland’s most promising young entrepreneurs.  The programme, backed by Stripe and some of Ireland’s top founders, brings together budding entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, designers and technologists to build new products with the help of experienced mentors from across the tech ecosystem.

We are very proud to see two Dogpatch startups working on leading edge technology to help tackle the global pandemic crisis. Conall Laverty, Founder of Wia, and Rosa Langhammer, Head of CoderDojo, are working day and night on creating an Irish open-source ventilator. They are looking for designers, developers and hardware experts that can help them achieve this crucial mission.

Dogpatch welcomed legendary rockstar The Edge, chair at Endeavor Ireland, for a roundtable discussion with the Stripe global policy team for a debate on the future of startup policy in Ireland.

Following a tour of the Dogpatch space the visiting participants moved to The Vaults for a closed discussion featuring leading founders & hubs from across the regions of Ireland.
