First Fridays for Startups

Good morning Startuppers!

Our First Fridays for Startups, powered by Google for Entrepreneurs, is ready for sign ups with some great experts!

Mentoring will include founders such as Luca Boschin of LogoGrab, PR star Paul Hayes, Sales strategists from Google, UX expertise from Pivotal Labs, as well as Legal, Strategy and more, from a total of 16 mentors.

Early stage and looking for funding or support programmes? The Lightning Talks will have speakers from the NDRC, Enterprise Ireland, Google Ireland and other startup ecosystem supporters, such as Ulster Bank, talk you through what they are looking for in the applications.

How to build a world class seed deck? At our Workshop with Frontline Ventures, Stephen McIntyre (ex Googler, VP of EMEA at Twitter and now Venture Partner) will tell you how to.

We've heard many of you asking for networking, and we're happy to be organising it along with a light lunch, in parallel with the mentoring sessions.

Patrick,
Dogpatch Labs
