Ladies Who Launch 2026 Dublin Summit

An evening for women founders on the two things that decide whether a small business grows: how you fund it in a tough market, and how you use AI tools to save time and scale. Ladies Who Launch, the non-profit for women entrepreneurs, hosts it at Stripe's Dublin office. The line-up includes Eileen O'Mara (Vice Chair, Stripe), Patricia Scanlon (founder of SoapBox Labs and former chair of the Irish government's AI Advisory Council), Mary McKenna (co-founder, Awaken Angels), India Healy O'Connor (Linda AI), Jayne Ronayne (Oac) and Katie Doran (Consello Ireland). Opening fireside chat at 18:10, then a session on finding funding. Doors 17:15, finishes 21:00. Free, at One Wilton Park, Wilton Place, Dublin 2. Ticket sales have ended, so only go if you already have a place. Why go: unusually senior speakers for a free evening, with investors and operators who talk money plainly. For women founders at pre-seed to growth stage.
