Among the entrepreneurs on the night is sustainability champion Dr. Mary O’Riordan, whose company HaPPE Earth has produced a medical grade compostable PPE apron that disappears in weeks and is a winner in the 2022 Health Innovation Hub Ireland awards.

We’ll hear from Sam Batran, founder of Forás Capital, Ireland’s first ‘Search Fund’, an investment vehicle conceived in 1984 in Stanford and Harvard, through which a group of investors financially support an entrepreneur’s efforts to locate, acquire, manage, and grow one privately held company.

Saddled with the usual Christmas party dilemma? Sean Gleeson set up findavenue.ie as a one-stop solution for corporate events organisers. 100% free to use, its goal is to save busy people time and money. It was a winner in the National Start-up Awards in 2021.

Hear their stories from 7pm. Wine and finger food will be served!
