AwakenHub & AwakenAngels are USA bound for St. Brigid’s week 2024 with a delegation of women founders, angel investors and partners.
AwakenHub and AwakenAngels are gearing up for St. Brigid’s Week 2024 in the USA, leading a delegation of accomplished women founders, angel investors, and partners. Building on the success of our inaugural ‘AwakenHub Takes New York’ Trade Mission last year, we're expanding our reach to include both Boston and New York this time around. Our mission is to showcase the talent of AwakenHub women founders from across the Island of Ireland and encourage Irish diaspora to become angel investors via AwakenAngels syndicate..
Excitingly, we're thrilled to announce a series of exclusive private events, pitch opportunities, and meetings, all made possible through the collaboration and support of both the British & Irish Consulates in Boston and New York. One of highlights in our itinerary will be a private reception hosted by British Consul General of New England, Peter Abbott OBE, in partnership with guest Joe Kennedy III, US Special Envoy to Northern Ireland for Economic Affairs.
Some highlights of our events include:
St. Brigid’s Day Breakfast at the Irish Consulate, New York
AwakenAngels' Angel Investment 101 Masterclasses in New York and Boston
Engaging in a private AwakenHub/AwakenAngels briefing and lunch with Irish Consul General Sighle Fitzgerald in Boston

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to making this unique opportunity possible and in particular, BOI NYC Hub and Invest NI for their sponsorship of the mission.
