Alex Depledge and Jules Coleman sold their first business Hassle.com for nearly £30m. But instead of taking the opportunity to take a step back and enjoy life, they went again and launched a second start-up - Resi. So, what is it like building a business for the second time? What is different? And why do it all again? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

NDRC, Ireland's national startup accelerator, and an initiative of the Department of, Environment Climate and Communications (DECC), is celebrating three years of building a thriving startup ecosystem across the country. They have announced a 2-year contract extension to continue supporting entrepreneurs and their ambition to make Ireland the best place in Europe to build a startup company. NDRC operates through a network of innovative startup hubs, including Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, PorterShed in Galway, RDI Hub in Kerry, and Republic of Work in Cork. These hubs serve as connectors, bringing together various stakeholders across the startup ecosystem to support and nurture founders. The founder-first, entrepreneur-led focus woven throughout programmes has led to over €56M being raised by startups who participated in the programmes over the last 3 years alone, and €180M by the entire NDRC portfolio during the same period, resulting in 650 jobs created, and thousands of individuals supported via educational aspects. Accelerator startups raised over €35M where examples include IP monitoring software GreyScout (€3.5M), cyber startup Cytidel (€1.35M), and Examfly (€1.5M). In three years, €21M was raised by Pre-Accelerator alumni. Notable examples of this early-stage success include Galway-based ByoWave - a video game controller for gamers with disabilities (€2.4M), and Tipperary-based trio Zerve ($3.8M). Dee Lyons, a Limerick native and Founder of ExamFly remarked, "We found the support incredible. The focus and accountability have meant that within 6 months, we went from an early-stage startup with some initial validation to an investor-ready business with a strategy and long-term vision." Lyons was selected for the 2022 NDRC Accelerator and secured €1.5M investment one year later. NDRC has enjoyed huge support from over 100 founders & operators as mentors who have built or exited companies worth a combined net value of €5Bn including Mark Cummins (sold Pointy to Google for over $100m), Bobby Healy (Former CTO of CarTrawler, valued at over €500M), Áine Kerr (Led Storyful through €18m acquisition), Pat Phelan (Co-Founder SISU, sold Trustev for $40 million), and Jules Coleman (sold Hassle.com for €35m). Entrepreneurs countrywide enjoyed support and often exclusive mentoring from a range of multinational companies including Open.AI, Google, Stripe, Fidelity, ESB, Microsoft, and Unilever. For example, Open.AI provided €25k credits to a unique NDRC Hackathon in partnership with the ISE course at the University of Limerick. Ian Browne, NDRC MD for the past 2 years commented on NDRC's impact on startups, "In a period of momentous change in both the macro and micro environment, we've continued to instil this 'founder-first' mentality, adapting to startups' real-time needs, and delivering programmes, which are entrepreneur-led and reflect growing startup trends - whether that's new topics like Deeptech and Generative AI, or the introducing one of Europe's first SAFE instruments on 'founder-friendly' investment terms to Irish startups." Mary Rodgers, CEO at PorterShed, a regional hub partner said, "NDRC has extended PorterShed's role regionally, offering high-quality early-stage supports to more tech startups in the West and North West. In the PorterShed first 5 years of operation, we've helped create 835 high-value sustainable jobs (KPMG validated). We look forward to building on this success through programmes like NDRC, and the welcome news of the 2-year extension." During the period a new NDRC Women Entrepreneurs Network was created which now has 400+ members, and to date, 30% of NDRC accelerator investments comprise women-led or co-led startups. Since 2021, NDRC has managed multiple successful NDRC portfolio company exits, notable examples including 2021 alumnus Robotify which secured a partnership with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak followed by an acquisition by global edtech Imagine Learning, fintech Chasing Returns was acquired b...

it sounds like the set up for a bad comedy routine: What is the role of morality in business -- business ethics -- today? But in an age where reputation matters – where a business’ brand and customer connections can be ruined almost faster than you can “Tweet this” – not just understanding, but doing, the right thing is more than nice… it’s a business imperative. But what is “the right thing?” For example, how should businesses balance social benefit with bottom line revenue? For whom does a business operate? And is there a place for morality in the boardroom? My conversation today is with someone who sits, as they say, in the room where it happens. Jules Coleman is one of the nation’s preeminent moral philosophers. For years, he was the Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld Professor of Jurisprudence and Professor of Philosophy at Yale Law School. He then became the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Planning at New York University. Today, Coleman serves on a number of corporate boards as a Senior Strategic Advisor, bringing his decades of theoretical thought and analysis to the practical application of global business.

On Fundraising with Jules Coleman by TechIreland

Left work on a Friday and gave birth on a Saturday: already our guest this week is pretty much a rockstar. 2014 Tech City’s Entrepreneur of the Year Alex Depledge is a straight-talking British businesswoman best known for being the driving force behind hassle.com.Alex launched her career in the US after completing her master’s degree at the Uni of Chicago, working on the campaign team of a major US politician. In 2006 she returned to the UK to become a consultant for Accenture, where she advised Footsie 100 clients on their customer and channel execution. In 2012 she bravely entered the world of entrepreneurship.In 2011 Alex and her best friend, Jules Coleman, conceived the idea behind hassle.com when they discovered how hard it was to find a piano teacher online. They realized that service providers found it hard to market themselves, as they weren’t always as tech-savvy as other entrepreneurs, and they needed to rely on word-of-mouth.Alongside co-founders Tom Nimmo and Jules Coleman, they started Teddle with the idea of connecting local service providers to customers. Two years later they rebranded to hassle.com and focused on connecting vetted cleaners to local customers. They recently sold for €32 million to German company Helpling.Alex has now launched BuildPath, a company which assesses whether house extensions are viable and how much they would cost. She also continues to be a driving force for shared parental rights in business and female equality amongst the entrepreneur scene.We chat about:Hassle’s journey from we-don’t-know-anything-about-startup-entrepreneurship to building an MVP to joining an accelerator to building the right product at the right timeWhat was raising money like in a period when there wasn’t a startup ecosystemTheir hiring challenges as first-time founders with no reputationSelling to Helpling and getting massively depressedFinding an executive coach and surviving BrexitLinks:ResiWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?
