Paddy’s Valley

Marcus Mac Innes pitches Pix.ie:

We have sent out an email this morning to those who submitted room type preferences for the Cardinal Hotel. The email includes instructions for booking at the discounted rate. Please let us know (see Contact tab at top of page) if you have not received the email but wish to be included in the group booking.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence as regards a decision to join us on Paddy’s Valley then perhaps this video of John and Patrick Collison’s talk at yesterday’s Limerick OpenCoffee will convince you why you need to breathe the Silicon Valley air.

Jan Blanchard of Tourist Republic was just one of the many attendees enthralled by the questions and answers session with the Auctomatic founders. Oh his blog Jan says -

“After 2 months in Limerick, these two lads went to San Francisco where they received seed funding by the prestigious Y Combinator network and another 8 business angels. They now operate from the Silicon Valley where they bump into potential partners, investors and clients while having their morning coffee.

After talking to John and Patrick I just can’t wait for Paddy’s Valley tour to San Fran!”

Anyone who’s thinking about hiring out a car when we get to Silicon Valley might be interested in a new feature on Google Maps. Now, as well as getting directions, you can get an estimate of driving time.
