Dolmen mentored company, Hydrasure, won the Animal Health award in the start-up company category at the National Ploughing Championships this year.
Emer Ní Chuanigh, company founder, speaks on building a new business and the benefits of partnering with Dolmen on new product development:
"My background in the equine industry, as well as in biology, and freshwater science, led me to I identify a gap in the market, but I had no training or experience in product development. Sean McNulty (CEO, Dolmen) was assigned to me through my LEO as a product development mentor in the early stages of my project. He has been an invaluable source of advice and support in this area and has gone above and beyond what was required of him as a mentor.
Product development can be a long (and at times discouraging) process, and having the right mentor can be integral in ensuring that early stage entrepreneurs persist with their ideas, to maximize their potential. I would thoroughly recommend Sean as a mentor for his knowledge and extensive experience in product development and innovation management, and for his enthusiasm for helping people with good ideas to maximize their potential."
