Dublin Tech Talks

I speak with Pierce about everything Equine MediRecord

Pierce Dargan founded his first start-up when he was fresh out of college. Equine MediRecord might be an industry leading platform, but that doesn’t mean Pierce didn’t have lots to learn on the journey. Never underestimate the value of timing

During the pandemic, Equine sport – like so many other industries – came to a standstill. The outlook was bleak for Equine MediRecord founder, Pierce Dargan. He laid off the whole team, including his brother, the CTO.

Today, Equine MediRecord is expanding across Europe, Northern America, and the Middle East. Knowing when to quit, and when to persist, is often the determining factor in an entrepreneur’s success.

Our talk explores the impact of timing and resilience for start-ups, with a focus on how entrepreneurs can hone the skills to be able to make tough decisions about sticking or quitting. Also some great advice every first-time entrepreneur should hear

I spoke to Albert Baker COO and co-founder of danalto. danalto delivers Asset Tracking solutions Made Simple.

I found this a really interesting insight into the world of IOT and all of the hidden technology innovation that often goes under our radar but is enabling smart cities and businesses and contributing to important movements like sustainability. danalto makes massive-scale IoT universally easy and accessible, enabling asset tracking and mangement across wide open spaces, both indoor and outdoor.
