Great article on how high capex is impacting unit economics of AI companies. Interesting how same investors that don’t invest in robotics/hw are happy to put $$ in AI companies with similar economics

Having recently gone through Techstars, one question I’ve been asked often is whether I’d recommend it to other founders. I've written a blog that reflects on Akara's journey and offers practical tips drawn from our experience Check it it out 👇 medium.com/@conor.mcginn/…

Speaking personally: this is an unbelievably bad decision. NDRC ran well and was very positive for the Irish tech ecosystem. So much government enterprise support is ineffective, so killing one of the few things that was really working (+cost a pittance) is frankly tragic.

Saddened to hear the news that NDRC is closing down. It’s huge blow to Irish startups and an objectively bad decision given how many jobs have been created from companies that have come through NDRC programs. We need more, not less, of these initiatives

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and writing more about the real-world journey of deploying robots and AI in healthcare. The first post dives into the hidden challenges no one talks about - it includes a lot of things I wish someone told me: conormcginn.com/blog/hidden-ch…
