NextGen Founders in Focus. Annie Madden, Ailbhe Keane and Naomi McGregor.

From L to R Naomi McGregor, Annie and Kate Madden, Izzy and Ailbhe Keane.

Our March event in the Female Founders Series focused on Next Gen founders with startups born from their hobbies and passions into globally competing businesses. Meet Naomi McGregor founder of MoveTru, Annie Madden founder of Fenu Health, and Ailbhe Keane founder of Izzy Wheels as they discuss building their startups with Mary Carty, co-founder of Awakenhub.

What is it like to found a company at 13, sell into multiple markets including 5 Royal Families, have partnerships with Barbie and Hello Kitty, and develop a cutting-edge product for injury prevention?

What lessons can these NextGen founders teach us? As you can imagine, a whole lot! This session was an MBA in an hour.

As the old Irish proverb goes, mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí, praise the young and they will flourish.

My goodness, they left us all inspired, with a pep in our steps and the conviction that we might be able to do it too!

Brava Ailbhe, Naomi and Annie.
