Following a call for applications last October, the women-founded companies that have been selected to take part include fine jewellery brand Chupi; video commerce business Axonista; diversity platform inclusio; pharmaceutical consulting company Orphan Drug Consulting; and sustainable period care company Riley.

The programme kicked off with a session in Philip Lee’s Dublin office led by Anne Heraty, Endeavor Ireland Board member and Philip Lee corporate partner, Anna Hickey.
