The mentors and speakers were excellent, which led to great open conversations with some great insights and guidance. Overall it was extremely worthwhile programme that I would encourage other scaling Irish companies to explore.

It goes well beyond IPO preparation, bringing us unique insights into building a high impact, long term focused, and profitable company in Ireland. JIM JOYCE CEO Health Beacon IPOready brings together a fantastic network of like-minded business people who face the same challenges and decisions every day, just like us. It is a great outlet for CEO’s and CFO’s to share experiences. I particularly enjoyed the investor pitches and the European campus in Rotterdam which was a great way to meet other businesses at the cutting edge of Technology. SARAH SWEENEY CFO Cora Systems Participating on IPOready gave us the opportunity to think about our company, why we exist and why we can be more relevant in the future. The course and the experience gave us a chance to play in the big leagues and create a valuable network. It has increased our ambition and ability to scale our business. It was the most worthwhile thing I did in years. FRANK MADDEN CEO Crest Solutions It was time incredibly well spent. You get to meet businesses outside your sector, you make new friends. It was incredibly impactful and practical in that it gives you a physicality to how you look to raise funds and you then have the opportunity to discuss the options and follow through. For us it was brilliant at the time and it continues to have an impact on our business. RICHARD KENNEDY CEO Devenish Nutrition IPOready was instrumental to Netwatch in our fund raising efforts. It gave us a deep insight into the funding ecosystem and fund raising process. The modules focusing on pitching to investors helped us to craft an investor pitch with the correct value proposition for our strategic partners. I would recommend IPOready to every company looking to raise strategic finance.
