Highlights from Ready Steady Grow! Belfast 2024
📅 Just attended Ready Steady Grow! Belfast
Had an incredible time at Ready Steady Grow! hosted by the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association (EISA) at Ormeau Labs. It was inspiring to see Belfast’s hashtag#EIS and hashtag#VC ecosystem come together and connect!
🎙️ Highlights from the Event:
• Claire Halliday kicked things off with a warm welcome at Ormeau Labs.
• Susan McKane from British Business Bank shared insights on support for small businesses.
• Bronagh Duggan of Sapphire Capital Partners LLP gave some invaluable “dos and don’ts” for EIS.
• A fantastic investor panel led by Olivia Wing (EISA) and Michael Mcdowell (Raise Ventures) offered deep insights into the investment landscape.
• Joanne Cole from BrokerIQ Solutions and Gary Davidson from Ormeau Labs wrapped up with a fireside chat on the startup journey.
Wrapped up the evening with networking over drinks and canapés—great conversations and connections made!
📈Excited to see how these initiatives will continue driving growth in hashtag#Belfast’s investment space.
⭐️I had a good chance to meet with people from Invest Northern Ireland and also the Department for the Economy NI.
It was good to offer feedback about the gap I see in the tech industry from the support perspective.
⚠️ There has to be a place and an environment to help tech entrepreneurs grow their business AFTER they have been through Programmes like Go Succeed NI, but BEFORE they meet the requirements to become an Invest Northern Ireland client.
