Understand how to get your idea off the ground

Understand scaling pitfalls & how to avoid them

Real world practical execution

So join us for our three event series:

Starting up - August 9th

Scaling up - September 14th

Startup Weekend Education (http://communities.techstars.com/ireland/dublin/startup-weekend/11032)- September 22nd

In this startup session with Lucy Mc Kenna (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucymck/) and Jess Hayden (https://www.linkedin.com/in/teabutton/) will bring you through a journey of tuning in to what drives you, identifying problems you want to solve and then creating solutions for them.

In this session we will:

-Explore your individual values and how these can help you to navigate the scary world of starting a new venture/adventure.

-Help you tap into your passions and surface your frustrations which are often fruitful avenues for business creation.

-Take each problem area you're interested in and use tools from psychology and Design Thinking to reframe problems and generate innovative solutions for them.

-Illustrate the importance of feedback and systematic research in developing your ideas and getting prototypes into the hands of your potential users.
