I01
The Irish network abroad is fragmented.
Talented people exist in pockets, but rarely meet in a way that produces real outcomes.
About
A focused bridge,
quietly built.
Between the Irish founder network and Stockholm's startup ecosystem. Small rooms. Real conversations. Long-term relationships.
Convened by Michelle Cotter
I · Mission
Why we exist.
To connect and support high-quality founders and operators with ties to Ireland inside Stockholm's ecosystem, through small, consistent gatherings and meaningful conversations.
Less programming, more presence. Fewer talks, more time at the table. The room is intentionally small.
II · Why now
Three observations.
- II02
Stockholm is a serious startup hub.
Mature operators, repeat founders, and disciplined capital, at a scale worth being in.
- III03
A focused bridge is missing.
There's no curated forum that intentionally connects the two.

Michelle convenes Fáilte. She selects the room, shapes the agenda, and holds the standard for the conversations that take place. Each gathering is built person by person, with an eye for who in the room makes the day worth the time.
