November 28, 2018 028: The Long Game | Kevin Feeney, DataChemist and TerminusDB
Kevin Feeney from DataChemist (now TerminusDB) joins us on the show to talk about his mission to make data meaningful...and traveling the length of Africa on public transport!
Data is the new oil and DataChemist is the refinery. DataChemist makes the complicated simple: we transform the messy, inconsistent data sets of the real world into clean, structured and integrated data. Our customers improve decision-making and reduce costs as a result.

DataChemist was founded with a simple goal: to make data meaningful. As a team we’re entirely focused on helping our clients make sense of their data and build structured, consistent data stores that support decision-making and business intelligence.

We're united by one belief: that the way the modern enterprise handles data is no longer fit for purpose. We're building a new database and a new way to think about data. If you're interested in coming along for the ride - or in us helping your business, we'd love to talk.

October 10, 2018 021: Independent Women | Aine Mulloy and GirlCrew
Aine Mulloy from GirlCrew joins us this week to talk about empowering women, building communities, her journey as a co-founder...and unfortunate injuries!
What is GirlCrew?

GirlCrew is a platform for women to make new friends. Not keen on going to a concert solo?

Find a crew with us. Want to book a vacation but your friends are all coupled up? Find a group of girls to travel with. Whatever you can dream up, you can do with the crew. Members can participate in online group chat and offline events, and many friendships have formed.

How did GirlCrew start?

GirlCrew began one Friday night, when Elva Carri really wanted to go out dancing, but had no one to go with. All her friends were either busy or tired. Believing there had to be other women in the same position, she put a call out for some platonic dancing buddies on Tinder. She had no idea she would quickly garner more than 100 enthusiastic matches. She added everyone to a secret Facebook group in Dublin, where she was based, and GirlCrew was born. Having gained lots of new friends, and a jam-packed social calendar, Elva was going to need help. She teamed up with Aine Mulloy and Pamela Newenham, and the three co-founders began growing

GirlCrew groups in cities all over the world, launching an app in the summer of 2017.

How does GirlCrew work?

GirlCrew operates through an app available on iOS and Android, and on desktop. Women simply join the group for their area such as Dublin, Melbourne, Austin or London, and there they can see what events are happening, read posts and comments from other members, write posts themselves and create events. They can also join international GirlCrew groups such as Trips & Travel, Careers, Entrepreneurs, Fashion & Beauty, Fitness & Wellness, Bloggers, Dating Advice and Staying In. In the groups, members share tips, advice and knowledge on everything from getting a new job to finding a good restaurant for a first date.

How big is GirlCrew and what's next?

GirlCrew has more than 100,000 members in over 50 cities worldwide, including Dublin, London, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Edinburgh and Melbourne. In the summer of 2017, the company launched an app. The app is
available on iOS and Android, and will be rolled out worldwide on a city by city basis
The summer of 2018 will see the app expand across 14 cities in the US including San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, San Antonio and Oklahoma.
[Unfortunately, GirlCrew closed down in October 2020]
