The latest AIB Start-up Academy night, in association with The Irish Times, was held in Galway on Wednesday the 17th of June. We’re building on the success of last year’s AIB Start-Up Academy to bring the brightest new entrepreneurs on a journey that will grow their business. The academy is a joint venture between The Irish Times and AIB to help people start business by providing information, networking opportunities and the chance to win a place on an intensive course run by Irish Times Training.
These nights are the first stage in the process and connect aspiring entrepreneurs with like-minded people and the wider startup community. The event was hosted by Gary Quinn (The Irish Times) and showcased local success stories in Galway such as Tara Dalrymple –Feelsright and Seamus Mc Cathmhaoil – Ri Na Mara. Two local startups took the opportunity to pitch; Paul Harmon – Electric Escapes Eamonn Roarke – Device Smart.
