It’s official, we are in dublin now!
Rare Founders is officially international now 😎 Last night we launched our events in Dublin.
It was an emotional night for me, like seeing your baby take their first steps. For the first time, I didn’t have to run around and stress about everything.
Rare Founders Dublin chapter is in the capable hands of Samuel Klacman (aka Dublin Legend) and his amazing volunteers (all Google employees, so we can say Google is our partner in volunteer support 😜).
I was there to support Sam, but he didn’t need any support as he managed everything perfectly, maybe even better than me😎 … maybe😜
An investor challenged me last year, saying I couldn't replicate London's atmosphere elsewhere as it's uniquely tied to my personality. I can now say he was wrongðŸ¤.
Watching Sam last night, I felt proud of him and what I've created, seeing it can exist without me. Being the center of attention in London, stepping back here was my personal challenge, and I'm glad I overcame it.
Dublin is just our first step in expansion. Soon, our open mic pitching and networking event for founders and investors will take place in other cities and countries.
If anyone in my network wants to take our events to their cities - talk to me! For now, my main priority is our big Demo Day in April. All eyes on the prize!
