Dublin — Week of 16 Mar 2026

With Techstars Facilitators (Programme Leads, Techstars)

Techstars' flagship all-female founder sprint comes to Dublin for a 54-hour startup-building weekend. Teams form Friday evening, build through the weekend, and pitch Sunday afternoon. The best way to find out what starting a company actually feels like — structured, mentored, and in a room full of other women doing the same thing.

One-day hackathon at Dogpatch Labs dedicated to building tech that celebrates Irish language and culture. Teams build in a day — Irish language learning tools, digital folklore, music tech, browser extensions as Gaeilge — then demo and compete for prizes. No coding skills or Irish fluency required. Genuine community feel and 200 capacity. A uniquely Dublin event.
