Pitch to Scale: Investor Showcase (February 2026)

Seven Irish founders pitched to a curated room of active investors, including angel syndicates, family offices and institutional funds. 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.

"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."

"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."

Get Funding Ready and Scale Smart (May 2026)

Fiona Nagle moderated a panel of founders, investors and operators (Paul Coyle, Helen Cahill of Financefair, Dermot Berkery of Delta Partners and Seán McLoughlin of ResHub) on what it actually takes to be funding-ready, and why proof, control and credibility matter more than polish.

"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
