Two quarterly events · Eight a year

Quarterly events for scaling Irish businesses

Every quarter we run both of our flagship events: the Pitch to Scale Investor Showcase and the Get Funding Ready and Scale Smart edition. Two complementary lenses on the same scaling journey. Real conversations about funding and growth. No sales pitches. No filler.

Investor Series 12 May 2026

Pitch to Scale: Investor Showcase (May 2026)

Eight Irish founders pitched to a curated room of active investors, including angel syndicates, family offices and institutional funds: Menopal, DataBuckets, Skippio, BioVit, CogniStream, Trojan Track, Onco Assure and ArrayPatch. Every pitching company was assessed and coached by Agile Executives before taking the floor. In the weeks after, several founders were in active follow-up with second meetings already on calendars.

Investor Q&A, Pitch to Scale 12 May 2026

Founders and investors networking, 12 May 2026

"The quality of the pitching companies was a level above what I see at most events. It was clear they had been properly prepared. We made two follow-up meetings before we left the room."

Angel Investor

Dublin-based syndicate

"I went in looking for exposure. I came out with a term sheet and an introduction to a follow-on investor. The coaching beforehand from Agile Executives made all the difference."

Founder and CEO

SaaS company, Series A

Get Funding Ready Series 11 June 2026

Get Funding Ready and Scale Smart (June 2026)

Kingsley Aikins moderated a panel of Gerry Walsh (Dynamic Resources), Niall Norton (FinanceFair, former Openet) and Martina Fitzgerald (Scale Ireland) in front of well over 100 founders and scaling leaders. The morning covered marginal gains, using the network as capital, building the business before raising, and the real funding picture in Ireland. Read the full recap →

The 11 June panel: Kingsley Aikins, Martina Fitzgerald, Niall Norton and Gerry Walsh

Audience listening to Martina Fitzgerald

"I came thinking we were too small for grants. I left with three programmes to apply for and a clear plan. We have since secured €45,000 in funding."

Managing Director

Food and beverage, Cork

"The roundtable alone was worth the morning. Hearing other founders describe the exact same leadership challenges made me realise we needed a Fractional COO, not another manager."

Founder and CEO

Technology, Dublin

"Practical, honest, no sales pitch. I have been to a lot of SME events and this was the first one where I walked out with a plan I actually followed through on."

Operations Director

Retail, Limerick
