What happens after the term sheet is often more important than getting it signed. Dan Hobbs (@ProtexAI) and Sam Endacott (@northzoneVC) discussed trust, board dynamics and difficult decisions, with one takeaway that stood out: responsiveness builds trust long before scale does. Thanks to everyone who joined us.
EirSpace has placed first in Category 2 at the Mach-26 competition, reaching an altitude of 2.06km and successfully deploying and testing its CanSat payload.

AI is changing audit, accounting and tax, but the interesting questions are now practical rather than theoretical. On 9 July, Dogpatch Labs brings together Audrey, Fineo and Kreoh with senior practitioners to discuss what AI is genuinely good at today, where it still falls short, and what that means for firms.

The next era of fintech won’t just move money, it’ll manage trust between autonomous AI agents negotiating, purchasing and transacting on our behalf. At Dogpatch Labs, Ben Robinson, Sinéad Fitzmaurice and Conor Lyden explored the future of agentic commerce.

€15,000 in prizes
23-24 May, @dogpatchlabs
Quantum computers capable of breaking today’s cryptography are getting closer to reality. While major blockchains are preparing to transition to post-quantum algorithms, there’s a critical issue flying under the radar: new cryptography brings new risks and unknowns. Now is the time to embrace crypto agility.
With @DublinTechWeek around the corner, there’s no better moment to get involved.
