2024 taught me that sometimes the best opportunities come disguised as setbacks. ✨ A year ago, redundancy felt like an ending. Today, I'm co-founder of CogniStream AI, selected as one of Ireland's top startups for Web Summit 2024. The journey between those two points has been equal parts terrifying and transformative. What I learned about transformation this year: → Sometimes you need to completely reimagine your path → The best co-founder might be right beside you (literally, in my case!) → Your past experience is your future advantage → Asking for help makes you stronger, not weaker Some moments that shaped our story: → Building CogniStream AI from concept to early customer traction → Being appointed Chair of ICT Advisory Board at Dublin Business School → Joining New Frontiers at TU Dublin entrepreneur development programme → Learning to pitch our vision on the Web Summit stage → Discovering my marketing expertise + my husband's research background = startup magic ✨ Three posts that particularly resonated this year: "They paid me to walk away, and I walked straight into a new life." On transforming redundancy into entrepreneurial opportunity through strategic partnerships and clear vision. https://lnkd.in/eQ3bv4Uv "Not every Alpha startup is the same. That's the beauty." Reflecting on our Web Summit journey - from selection to stage to unexpected wins. https://lnkd.in/eAe_n_5G "Building a startup is a rollercoaster." The raw truth about startup leadership and co-founding with your spouse. https://lnkd.in/efEzE672 Looking ahead: While scaling CogniStream remains my primary focus, I'm passionate about helping others navigate their transitions through executive coaching and embodied leadership. Because sometimes the best way to grow is to help others find their path, too. 🤝 To everyone facing unexpected career turns: Your next chapter might be closer than you think. Trust your expertise, embrace the uncertainty, and remember - sometimes setbacks are just opportunities in disguise. 💫 Get your 2024 LinkedIn Rewind https://lnkd.in/e9vuaP-Z

Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor (words from AI, not me): In 2024, trust and community proved to be the real accelerators of innovation. From our Tech Academy success to being named Innovate Alabama's Innovator of the Year, every win reinforced what matters most: making entrepreneurship accessible to all. Key ecosystem developments this year: • 18 founders supported through Tech Academy with Regions Foundation • Expanded mentorship and capital access programs across Southwest Alabama • Strengthened corporate partnerships driving practical innovation • Launched new initiatives in AI, advanced manufacturing, and maritime tech Three moments that captured our community's impact: "Inaugural Founders Fest Success" - When state-wide collaboration created unprecedented opportunities for founders. Never would I have expected this recognition, but to say I am incredibly honored is a huge understatement. https://lnkd.in/eGKB94eK "Tech Academy Impact" - What happens when corporate partners and community support align to enable founder success. We saw 18 founders grow through intentional support and resources. https://lnkd.in/eaZAP4j6 "Supporting Southwest Alabama Entrepreneurs" - Active outreach to develop regional startup talent, proving that great ideas exist throughout our region. https://lnkd.in/eZTayRfM To our founders, partners, and the entire Innovation Portal community - your trust and dedication are building something extraordinary in Mobile. The Regions Foundation, MBDA, and our corporate partners haven't just supported programs - they've invested in our vision of accessible entrepreneurship. Looking ahead: 2025 will focus on scaling our proven programs while deepening corporate partnerships and expanding access to capital. The momentum in Alabama's startup ecosystem is undeniable - now it's time to amplify it. #MobileAL #entrepreneurship #innovation #GetStarted -- Get your 2024 LinkedIn Rewind!
