The Valley Wows the Paddies

5th of December 2007 by conor

They are halfway through their week in Silicon Valley and the Paddy's Valley crew are receiving an incredible welcome. It's not often that a bunch of start-ups get to meet and talk with the following in the space of three days:

  • Robert Scoble
  • Loic Le Meur
  • Facebook
  • SocialText
  • Ning
  • Marc Andreessen!
  • Biz Stone

And they are not finished yet. Salim Ismail has invited them into the Yahoo Brickhouse and any of the Paddy's Valleyers can pitch to them tonight.

They may even have a soccer match against Facebook and Yahoo.

On Tuesday night, five of the start-ups selected by Enterprise Ireland for the EI/ITI VC Forum got to pitch to some local VCs and invited guests. You can see all of them in video action on the Paddy's Valley Blog. The winner of the night was Nubiq with their mobile web offerings. Here is their CEO Hélène Haughney's pitch:


I just know the PV guys and gals are going to pull a few more rabbits out of the hat before the week is over.

[UPDATE] And I wasn't wrong. Who did they meet yesterday? Jerry Yang! This trip blows any trade mission ever held completely out of the water. I'm in awe.
