Ómós There! 🚀 It’s amazing how a conversation in 2020 can shape the years to come. Invited by The Edge and the founding board of Endeavor Ireland, I had the privilege of being the first Irish entrepreneur to help kickstart their vision. That was just the beginning of an incredible chapter. Later that year, I had my now-legendary "second Endeavor conversation" with Samuel Dennigan. What started as a quick chat between founders evolved into a battle-tested friendship forged in the absolute madness of the pandemic. For me scaling Cubic3, and Sam scaling Strong Roots, we watched our plans temporarily fall off a cliff. But in company building, you don't panic you get into the trenches. We leaned on each other, built a war room mentality, dug into the data, and navigated both our companies to incredibly successful outcomes alongside our resilient teams. From Scaling to Steering Fast forward to today, Sam and I have traded daily operational survival for strategic mentorship. Sitting together on the board of Endeavor Ireland , our mission is massive but simple: to 'pay it forward.' We want to enable the next generation of Irish entrepreneurs to be truly global, helping them cut through the corporate noise with the two traits that saved us: razor-sharp focus and unbreakable resilience. But let's be honest, entrepreneurs never really stop building. Our friendship naturally evolved into a formidable partnership. After years of shared meals and travels, Sam introduced me to the incredible Cúán Greene (whose background spans Noma, Geranium, and Bastible). Over a steak at The Butcher Grill, Cúán shared a vision that absolutely blew me away: a destination rooted in deliciousness and sustainability, set in a restored Victorian home in Abbeyleix with a purpose-built contemporary restaurant, a one-acre millpond, and landscaped gardens. An unmatched hospitality experience driven by creativity, respect, and deep connection. In January, we walked through the site to see the textiles, finishes, and layout turning into reality capping off the day watching a perfect pint settle on the bar in Morrissey’s. Friday 26th, sitting at breakfast with Cúán, the Ómós team, and Sam, it hit me: we are doing exactly what we love to do. We are identifying world-class Irish talent and providing the runway to build something spectacular. Well done Cúán and team. Ómós is Here! 🌿 Cúán Greene, Endeavor Ireland, Samuel Dennigan, John Collison, Daire Hickey and The Edge

Ayer participamos en el evento de Harmon "Venture Capital Corporativo en España, centrado en el futuro de la innovación abierta". Nuestro Managing Director, Andres Tallos, fue el encargado de hacer la apertura de una jornada en la que se conversó sobre cómo las grandes corporaciones españolas están transformando su manera de invertir, colaborar e innovar junto al ecosistema emprendedor. El Corporate Venture Capital y la innovación abierta se han consolidado como herramientas estratégicas para anticipar tendencias, acceder a nuevas tecnologías y generar ventajas competitivas a largo plazo. Para las startups y scaleups, contar con este tipo de aliados es clave para acelerar su crecimiento y construir compañías globales desde el primer día. En Endeavor creemos firmemente en el valor de estas alianzas.

It has been so exciting being back on campus at Harvard University honing my thesis proposal with Professor Mark Leighton and my awesome classmates. It’s my last week here but hopefully I’ll be back in May to graduate! My thesis is looking at New Zealand’s potential to produce bio methane and fertiliser using food waste as a way to reduce reliance on imports of fossil fuels.

Capitol Meridian Partners (CMP) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Westway Enterprises, the nation's leading independent provider of classified SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) infrastructure. The investment will accelerate Westway's expansion of ICD-705-accredited workspace, broadening access to classified facilities for commercial innovators and non-traditional defense contractors — advancing innovation and capacity across the national security missions Westway supports. "Secure infrastructure has become one of the most constrained and most strategic assets in national security," said Robert J. Miller III, Chief Executive Officer of Westway. "With Capitol Meridian's deep infrastructure experience and world-class team behind us, we can invest ahead of demand and extend our footprint to where the mission lives." "Westway has built something the national security community urgently needs — accredited, mission-ready infrastructure delivered with the highest levels of security, at speed and scale," said Brooke Coburn, Co-Founder of Capitol Meridian. "Accredited secure infrastructure is emerging as a vital new asset class supporting the important work of the defense industrial base (DIB), and Robert and his team have built the platform to lead it. We're excited to partner with them to expand this critical infrastructure across the country's most strategic markets." In connection with the transaction, Tiffanny Gates — a Capitol Meridian Operating Partner and former President and CEO of Novetta — has been named Chair of Westway's Board of Directors. https://lnkd.in/egan2kKc

2 years on from attending my first London Climate Action Week, I've graduated from "attendee" to "speaker". It was a pleasure to join the panel "Valuing the Future: The Next Generation" at Goodenough College and, alongside Kristin Kostka and Dennis West, share my thoughts on transition valuation and what it takes to move organisations from intent to measurable action. We had some great questions and discussion on impact accounting, how to measure those "too difficulty to quantify" outcomes, and the balance between scale and accuracy when applying these methods in practice. Huge thanks to Greenings, RG Sciences (RGS), and Goodenough College for letting me finally take to the stage (or, more accurately, the table).
