Inishowen-based startup founders to tell stories of success at Buncrana event

A workshop and Q&A session about the challenges of software development is being held for local entrepreneurs and innovators.

Inishowen Innovation (ii) and Polish software development company Gorrion is hosting the free event titled Gateway to Product Development Success, which will take place on November 21 at the Inishowen Innovation hub in Buncrana.

Digital product development is a cut-throat environment, with more than two-thirds of startups never delivering a positive return on investment and ultimately failing. This unique collaborative event is a rare opportunity to hear first-hand accounts and honest advice from business owners who lived to tell the tale against these odds.

The workshop will feature real-life questions asked by local entrepreneurs who are struggling with developing their digital product or who would like to enter the tech startup space.

Answering them will be community members who experienced similar challenges and came out on top with successful products, including Ryan Bradley, co-founder of FireCloud365 and Patrick Lynch, founder of BioLedger. Experts from Gorrion who have helped these and many more businesses create their very own custom software, will also be there to advise.

The event will be hosted by the ii, an innovation hub that fosters a community of forward-thinking entrepreneurs focused on disruptive digital technologies and business models.

Along with the opportunity to meet and connect with others in the same field or stage of development, participants will have the chance to ask specific questions, share their unique challenges, and get tailored advice from industry veterans.

They will leave equipped with insights and strategies to make smarter business decisions and avoid common development pitfalls.
