What exciting things can people look forward to?
Talent Garden, Community Manager, Machaela O’Leary, will host the discussion, covering Bill’s ‘unconventional’ entry into the world of investments and start-ups. Coming from a background in engineering and developing sales skills, Bill embarked on a career path that was not originally what he envisaged but he has since become one of the most well-respected names in his field.
He will share his insights on the comparative entrepreneurial cultures of Ireland, Australia, America and other countries in between and share his experience of co-founding the incredibly impactful CoderDojo and the challenges, rewards and learnings of that journey. Bill will also discuss his insights into the current challenges faced by start-ups and VCs since COVID-19 and what trends he is seeing emerge such as more diversity across portfolios and a focus on sustainably grown start-ups etc.
