The second of the Dublin AIB Start-up Academy events was held in 4 Dame Lane on Wednesday night, June 18th. 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 training course run by Irish Times Training.
These nights are the first stage in the process of connect aspiring entrepreneurs with like-minded people and the wider start-up community. The event was hosted by Bobby Kerr and featured talks from Dervla James and Marian Kilcoyne (The Pepper Pot) and Brian Caulfield (DFJ Esprit), as well as "pitches" by four startups: Jenny from Scrumdiddly's in Donabate, Elaine Lavery from Improper Butter, Eoin Naughton of Peak Physio and Sportronix's Mark Barnes.
