What we’re about
Welcome to Elevate Your Startups GTM: Springboard IQ Community 🚀
This group brings together startup founders, operators, and experts who want to share knowledge, avoid wasted runway, and accelerate growth.
We run two types of monthly events in Dublin:
- Community Networking Nights – casual evenings to meet fellow founders, share experiences, and build connections.
- Founder Hot Seat Sessions – structured events where 3–5 founders pitch their current challenge or growth obstacle and get live, actionable feedback from seasoned sales, marketing, and startup experts.
At Springboard IQ, our mission is simple: help startups cut through the noise of outdated go-to-market playbooks by giving them access to real operators who know what works today.
💡 Whether you want to pitch, learn, or simply connect, this group is your chance to tap into a community of ambitious founders and experienced operators who can help you reach the next level.
