"Being Irish is a superpower and I think as an Island we possibly don't do enough engagement with our diaspora in terms of really harnessing that connectivity, those relationships and really building out that brand. But AwakenAngels, our diaspora has been integral to our strategy from the beginning" - Denise McQuaid, AwakenHub and AwakenAngels Co-Founder & Director of Investor Relations The second half of yesterday included an Investor Panel with Marty Loughlin of Digital Irish Venture Fund, Mary McKenna, MBE and Gabrielle McCarthy of Underscore VC, followed by our Founder Showcase pitches from Clare Ryan, Sandra Healy, Sarah-Marie Rust, Orla McDonnell, Sheelagh Brady, Mary Blake, Angela Wilson and Shana Chu to investors, VC’s and interested parties who are keen to support and be involved with innovative and impactful companies from across Ireland. With thanks to Underscore VC for hosting us this evening and to Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ireland #EmigrantSupportProgramme and Irish American Partnership for their support. 🌟 👼 AwakenAngels is proudly supported by: InterTradeIreland and British Business Bank Denise McQuaid Mary McKenna, MBE Clare McGee Sinead Crowley Maria McKeever Rhiannon Gilvarry Brìghde Barnes Mary Ann Pierce Jane McCooey Boston Irish Business Association Irish Network Boston Mná Mheiriceá #angelinvesting #angelinvestors #smartinvesting #startups #pitchevent #businessangels
