How can Hi-Start progress my business in 2020?
The Hi-Start ‘Get your Business Investor Ready’ Programme is a short, highly focused workshop and one-on-one support process aimed at ambitious start-ups who are targeting international markets. If your business requires high-level support to build a platform for successful long-term development and to crystallize and deliver a powerful investor pitch, then Hi-Start is for you.
Running March to October 2020 in Dublin, Hi-Start has been developed and part-funded by the Dublin & Wicklow Local Enterprise Offices and Enterprise Ireland.
What is involved?
The six half-day workshops are designed to each contribute a key component to the development of the investor-ready business plan. A related mentoring session will follow each training module to assist the participant with the specific outcomes required.

The programme will be delivered by the highly acclaimed world-class business development consultant John McMahon, Forum 21 Ltd.
