Programmable Money & Practical Cashflow: The Future of Startup Finance 💸
If you run a startup, freelance, or create anything independently, there’s one topic that either keeps you up at 3 AM or makes you want to close your laptop and walk into the sea: money. 💸
Building the tech is hard. But building the financial infrastructure, securing funding, and actually understanding cash flow while navigating AI and new tech? That’s where the real game is played.
For our next Rebel meet-up on Tuesday, August 18th, we’re bringing in two incredible founders who are actively reshaping how we think about, build, and interact with financial technology.
No corporate jargon. No high-level fluff. Just honest insights from people doing the work in the trenches.
🔥 Meet our speakers:
🎙️Deirdre McCarthy - Founder of FLIT Financial Literacy & AllSkills Education CLG. Deirdre spent 30+ years leading tech transformation before launching an award-winning social enterprise using AI to make financial education practical and accessible. She’ll share the raw realities of early-stage financial survival, building capability, and navigating cash flow when every euro counts.
🎙️Niall Dennehy - Founder & CEO of NestiFi, Co-Founder of AID:Tech, and Techstars Web3 Mentor. Niall operates at the edge of AI, fintech, and programmable finance. He’ll break down how modern financial infrastructure, automation, and smart payouts are changing how early-stage startups manage, move, and protect their capital.
