Our startups
Deep Dive Week was a great opportunity for actionable feedback from mentors & speakers – and great networking opportunity with other startups.
The Deep Dive week was great insight, we met the right people, and found amazing help on our scale up phase.
Deep Dive Week was brilliant – Ultan O Briens sales talk was a game changer.
