Founders & Mentors

The NDRC was buzzing tonight for the ESB Spark of Genius 2014 event. And it was great to meet so many interesting peeps.

DigiWomen caught up with some of the NDRCs female founders (one of who was pitching tonight) and mentors who worked together over the last few months in the NDRC. There was 10 tech startups, all with female founders who came together as part of an initiative to encourage more women to accelerate their ideas and bring their businesses to the next level.

You can read more about each of the participants ideas and discover how diverse their startups are.

One of these females Tara Van Zyl went onto win the competition and then got a chance to pitch her idea at the Spark of Genius. It’s been a very busy 8 weeks for Tara.
