June Startup Café

Published: 27 Jun, 2025

💡 That’s a wrap on our final Start-Up Café before the summer break, and what a session to close the season.

We were delighted to welcome Stuart Connolly, Co-Founder of Open Forest and former Phase 2 New Frontiers participant, who shared his founder journey from early-stage idea to securing funding and growing a purpose-driven business. His insights into navigating the funding landscape were both practical and inspiring.

💬 From funding strategies to real talk about the entrepreneurial journey, the morning was packed with valuable takeaways and peer-to-peer learning.

We're now taking a short summer break, but the Start-Up Café will return soon.
📅 Next session: Thursday, 25 June 2025
⏰ Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Venue: TU Dublin Greenway Hub, Grangegorman
