EirePreneur The 'building a business' scrapbook. |
Thursday, October 31, 2002 Well we had our introductory session on the GMIT EPP last Thursday and I must report that I'm very optimistic about the content and activities planned. It was also great to meet up with 8 other entrepreneurial individuals who are in the same boat as myself, with big dreams and small budgets!
Saturday, October 19, 2002 GlobalGreyhounds (our greyhound racing marketplace business) has been fortunate enough to be accepted for the GMIT EPP (Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, Enterprise Platform Program). Candidate startups had to do a presentation to a panel of experts. To be honest I thought we (or more precisely I) had flunked it! My presentation was lousy; I complete ran out of time and failed to convey several important points. Lucky for me though they retained my presentation diskette and must have thoroughly examined it in their own time. I believe there was a total of 15 presentations but I'm not sure how many original applicants there were. Those 15 were whittled down to 10 companies who will now be taken on for the 1 year program.
