TechLudd is a free monthly social networking event for Irish start-ups and those interested in them, from founders to funders to fans.

TechLudd was founded on the idea of nurturing a network around start-ups, building the same kind of ecosystem that the Paddy’s Valley crew discovered helped nurture entrepreneurs with access, funding, contacts and communication on their trip to Silicon Valley in December 07.

For our inaugural get together, we’re hosting a non-event: no speakers, no panels, no presentations - just some of the crew from Paddy’s Valley, who we’ll anchor to the bar so you can ask them about their experiences; an open demo table if you want to show off your stuff; and Irish start-up funders, founders and fans.

Are you going to TechLudd?

TechLudd? What’s that apart from a horrible name?

Well, its a total non-event if you ask me. It’s for pesky upstarts who dare to call themselves “start-ups”.

How very dare they? You won’t find me going to that. I’m much too important.

Me too.

We’ll be there and hope you will be, too!
