Great piece by @collision on what Ireland needs today.
Ardnacrusha. Free education. 50%→12.5%. IFSC.
Bold leadership built this country.
It’s who we are.
Ireland needs that spirit again.

The @joinpatch_ Demo Day @dogpatchlabs is always a highlight of the year, and it has only gotten bigger and better! While it's clear it raises the ambitions of all the participants, it's less noted that it also inspires and increases the ambition of anyone that interacts with it.
Congrats to all the teams for some seriously impressive projects!
Tom has created something special, and @TimFarrelly8 and Lucy Daly have taken it to another level. I look forward to seeing more from the PCU.

Teen founder Liam Fuller and co-founder Yoan Gabison have raised $1.4m, led by @SquarePegCap, with backing from ex-@stripe CTO David Singleton and the Xtripe angels. NDRC ’25 cohort on 🔥. More from @tech_eu: dogpatch.click/80d3a6

Merci @Xavier75 for an inspiring evening in Dublin! 🇮🇪🇫🇷 Your bold vision, faith in European talent, and rallying cry to Make Europe Great Again struck a real chord with Ireland’s entrepreneurs. A true Franco-Irish moment of optimism and ambition!

WOW. What an incredible email to get on Sunday morning as I’m mentally heading into next week trying to figure out how I make every meeting/event work. Though I’m covered and won’t need this generous help, the gesture was meaningful. Bravo @dogpatchlabs @NDRC_hq 👏

Magic happens when you bring startup founders together. This week’s NDRC alumni dinner proved the power of community.
Thank you to everyone who joined this week for an evening of candor, laughter, and Founder-to-Founder therapy. Let’s keep building! 1/3

Hundreds of folks building the future at a time when the tech is more powerful, more accessible, and offers more possibilities than ever.
@intercom supported two separate hackathons today, partnered in San Francisco with @elevenlabs and in Dublin with @dogpatchlabs.
Awesome fireside - hacking fundraising - led by @Luke_Mackey of @kota_benefits and his investor @danonanthony of rerail.vc
@dogpatchlabs
Excited to partner with HackIreland, alongside @Intercom, @Tines_io, @Stripe, @OpenAI, and @joinpatch_ , to host the biggest hackathon of the year for Ireland’s most talented and ambitious young builders.
