We had the privilege of attending NDRC's masterclass titled "Growing your Startup Hub," powered by Dogpatch Labs, PorterShed, Republic Of Work, and RDI Hub, and it was an incredibly insightful and interesting experience! 💡

During the session, we delved into the structure of a successful hub 🌐, encompassing various elements, such as basic infrastructure and member services, the importance of a value-led community, connecting with other hubs on a national and international level to foster a thriving ecosystem, well-designed programmes that go beyond physical space, and ultimately the actualisation of the hub itself. 🚀

We also had the chance to learn about the history of the CHQ Dublin and the hub it houses. Dogpatch Labs has made significant strides in the past eight years, including its partnership with Ulster Bank and Pivotal, as well as the implementation of The Vaults and The Urban Garden strategies. 🏡

By collaborating within a hub, we are collectively engaging in impactful and meaningful work that has the power to change the world. Hubs play a pivotal role by providing a supportive environment where like-minded individuals can come together and support each other in achieving their goals. 📈 As a proud member of the Irish startup network, we are grateful for the opportunity to work in Dogpatch Labs and be part of this incredible community they have built. Together, we are making a difference! 🙌

We must commend Viktoria Hensler for being an outstanding host for the event and would also like to thank John Roche and Sarah Livesey for leading our breakout! 🙏
