More than 200 people are expected to attend DublinBeta, a quarterly event that acts as a networking platform for start-ups, in Dublin this evening.
This will be 14th DublinBeta held since the event series began in 2011. Overall, almost 200 Irish start-ups have demonstrated what they are working on to the tech and start-up community at the events.
“There is some really great tech talent out there. One of the benefits of attending is getting to chat and network with people. It’s a really diverse audience and start-ups can get feedback on their app, technology and business,” organiser Gene Murphy said.
Mr Murphy said 15 start-ups will demo tonight, including social media marketing company Captivio, video company Rotor, smart energy company EnergyElephant, data capture company Multitudos and design business Youzign.
A prize will go to best start-up on the night, which will consist of two trips to European tech conferences of the winning start-up’s choice with flights and accommodation paid for. “They can use the prize to promote themselves across Europe.”
