First Fridays - Dublin Startup Networking

First Fridays at Dogpatch Labs is the longest-running startup networking event in Dublin. Every first Friday of the month, the CHQ Building fills up with founders, developers, designers, investors, and anyone interested in the Dublin tech and startup scene.

What to Expect

The format is simple and effective. Free drinks, a couple of lightning talks from founders or investors, and plenty of time to mingle. The crowd is a mix of early-stage founders, people working in tech companies looking for their next thing, investors scouting, and curious newcomers to the Dublin startup scene. The atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious.
