Empower Explore - Raising Money, Inspiration and Blockchain

During an action-packed online conference in Galway, we learned about raising money from equity and grant sources, how to pursue freedom and flexibility in high growth environments and how blockchain can make a tangible difference to sustainable businesses across the country.

I was MC for the session and in this post, you will find the full recording of the conference as well as some memorable quotes from the guest speakers.

Here is a summary of our guest speakers quotes from the event
