Everyone welcome to our TechFoundHer - Meet the Founder event!! This is an amazing opportunity to meet Shana Chu CEO and Founder of Ireland based Tailr.

Shana is such an inspiration - she recently successfully completed a 700K funding seed round and there's huge momentum with Tailr - an innovative cloud- based SaaS platform that helps clothing brands streamline production, achieve sustainability goals and ensure consistent sizing.

Shana is part of our tech for good and www.techfoundher.com community and she wants to share her experiences in this no bars conversation that will be led by Aislinn Mahon. Shana is based outside of Dublin so this is a great opportunity to meet her.

Takeaways will include:

* The inspiration for her business (working in the garment industry).

* Why harnessing tech AI and machine learning has been a game changer.

* That yes you can be the founder of a deep tech startup even if you're not a coder.

* Knowing when to pivot.

* Trusting your gut and ignoring 'bad' advice.

* Why she remains the sole founder and has recruited a tech team rather than finding a cofounder.
