Accelerate Your Impact
We’re going deeper. We’re dreaming big and we’re inviting you to join us in raising the roof of City Hall, Dublin. The TechFoundHer Bootcamp is an all-day event bringing together trail blazing women tech founders from across the island of Ireland, alongside ‘would be’ and early stage founders and funders. It is a high energy mix of lightning talks, demos, insights on tech trends, and practical tips on how to harness the latest tech for product innovations. We believe you don’t have to be a coder to innovate with tech – let’s learn from and inspire each other.
