And He’s Off!

You’ll remember I blogged about my son, Robin last week in his bid to make the final shortlist for Seedcamp in London. Well, he’s made it!  Have a look at this!

I think Robin’s infectious enthusiasm must have got to the judging panel as despite not making the final list initially, the ‘D4H‘ team has now been allocated a place at Seedcamp.  Robin’s new business venture ‘D4H’ is the sole representative from Ireland and it joins a diverse set of teams from across the globe – including Austria, Poland, Finland, Romania, Ukraine, France, Germany, Slovenia, US, India and Sweden.

Robin set off for London last night brimming with enthusiasm for the week ahead.  There’ll be no stopping him now!

    It’s great news Steph. I’m sure you’re as delighted for him as he is himself. Best of luck to him :o )

    Thanks Grannymar

    I am very proud of him. Can I stop dancing now, please? ;-)

    Hi! Darragh

    Thanks for your support. I see I’ve been honoured with a link! :D

    Robin set his sights on Seedcamp at the beginning of the year and he’s more than happy to have reached this goal. He and his other team member, David will benefit hugely from the week at Seedcamp regardless of the outcome. It’s a brilliant opportunity for them both.

    Cheers Baino :D

    I’m enjoying the rest now that the whirlwind has temporarily moved away.

    Do you think I should put-in for my cut now or wait till he gets back? ;-)

    Thanks! AV

    I am indeed! He’s having a TERRIFIC week, is all fired-up with enthusiasm and loving every moment of the buzz at Seedcamp. D4H has been very well-received and I really think that this week of mentoring is going to go a LONG way.

    He’s updating daily on his blog although hugely under time pressure.
