The Greenhouse Incubator in Limerick is organising a number of very valuable free startup boot-camp sessions in Limerick. The sessions will take place in Limerick once a week for 10 weeks and will last 3-hrs each. They will be a combination of live 2-way video format, live sessions, workshops and pitches.
We aim this at early stage start-ups and will deal with a wide variety of topics that start-ups will encounter. It’s also build around real world experience rather than theoretical data. Places are limited so it’s important that people register early.
For more information: Greenhouse Start Up Bootcamps.
