I am chuffed that the idea that I had 2 years ago is now a reality and is a finalist for Diversity in Tech 2025 for Social Impact. Therapix was born out a real problem that I faced as a clinician and a problem I know was faced by service users- accessing, understanding and implementing therapeutic strategies on a day to day context Therapix makes home and school programs in Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy accessible and easier to implement for children with developmental delays and disabilities. It's now live and available to parents, schools and therapists. Dm me for a demo and a trial.

Just over a month into Madra World full time and we finished last month with a record in sales (excluding Black Friday). We have just moved out of the garage (spare room) where it all started and into our first premises. Soon, we will be selling products here too, making it our first brick-and-mortar presence. I've been chasing this "Total Sales" number below all year to achieve a 100% increase in sales from last year, and we finally caught up! There are a lot of challenges ahead, and I’m definitely feeling the discomfort of growth, but being part of Enterprise Ireland's Enterprise Ireland's New Frontiers programme is really helping me manage all of this. Looking forward to the rest of this year!

A great example of how a New Frontiers at TU Dublin participant, Colin Deering, has collaborated with TU Dublin Research and Innovation and TU Dublin's ICT department of researchers to develop AI-powered features for its start up Anyscor's tech.
