Lots of news!
We’ve been working with the SW gang over the last couple of weeks on the shiny new website. The hard work was done by Anca, but we gave some inputs indicating what we would like – we hope it makes it a bit clearer what SW is about, who is behind it, both locally and globally, and who to talk to about it.
As well as the new website, we’re delighted to be able to announce the generous support of Microsoft Bizspark. Bizspark are making a great contribution to startup activity within the Dublin ecosystem and we think it’s fantastic that they’re working with us on this.
Dublin City Enterprise Board have also agreed to give us some support, which is very gratefully received.
We’ve also set up an event on LinkedIn – if you’re curious about who else might be coming out to play, head on over there to have a nose.
Finally, the good folk at silicon republic gave us a mention which is nice. Thanks guys!
Things falling into place for next Dublin Startup Weekend
We’ve been doing a bit of prep work for the next startup weekend and things are gradually falling into place – having run the event once makes everything much easier.
We are in final discussions with a very significant sponsor which we hope to be able to announce real soon now. We kinda wanted to get that nailed down prior to doing a bit of a publicity drive. Also, we’re getting a new theme put on the website, so we thought it makes sense to try to co-ordinate all of these prior to promotion.
Given the success of the last event, we’re also hoping that more folks will already know about it and we think some of the reprobates that came out to play last time will join us again. I hope we’re not being too complacent on this.
We’ve setup an event on LinkedIn – if you’re thinking of popping along, let us know.
We’ve also been thinking a little about the logistics – we’ve got some ideas on how to run it better, but if any of the folks who turned up last time have some specific thoughts, we’d be more than happy to hear them!
We should have more announcements and a new look early next week, so drop back then to see what we have to say…
