Dogpatch Labs, Custom House Quay

A working session on how founders should frame a startup story for investors: who has the pain, why it is urgent, what insight led to the solution, what was built to prove that insight, and why this team is the right one to take it further. Aimed at founders who are unsure what their strongest version of that narrative is. Part of Build Station Dublin at Dogpatch Labs, where co-working is open 9am-5pm and lunch is served at 1pm; those who do not need the session are welcome for the networking and lunch. Free. Registration requires host approval, so sign up in advance rather than turning up on the day.
