About this event

As part of Dublin's Startup Gathering, Co-Founder of OpenJaw, John McQuillan, joins us in a fireside chat to share his story about how to build a company from €0-40M in just a few years.

A Trinity College graduate in Electronic Engineering, John has been a senior executive at the forefront of travel technology for over 25 years. He worked for companies such as Datalex and Westinghouse Canada, before going on to co-found OpenJaw Technologies in 2002. OpenJaw Technologies was acquired by GuestLogix in December 2015 for US$41.2 million.

John will be interviewed by David Scanlon. A former Project Executive at Enterprise Ireland charged with attracting export-orientated entrepreneurs to Ireland, David is now Director at StartupGrind Dublin.

We'll also hold an open mic slot for new and established companies to introduce themselves and their team.
