That Great Business Show

E231 That Great Business Show

Michael Guerin, founder Imvizar, making tourist attractions eh, more attractive. And, his second business, Lureo, will make anyone a Hollywood director. It's Canva for 3D videos.

He travels. A lot. But that's business. And he expects his team to rock up to the office. Even the ones who live in Lisbon and Marseille.

And, there's a land grab going on in the sector, so having raised €1.5m he's going to raise more funds by the end of this year to bring the business big in the US.

His 'hire in a heartbeat', Walt Disney.

Ciaran Doherty, founder of Loadar, cutting costs in a very significant way for big businesses that ship products - by land, sea or air. The biggest problem they're solving is pricing - the number of variables is huge, but Loadar automates the process. He's looking for the world's biggest shippers, a couple of thousand businesses only, but if he secures them that would make Loadar very, very successful indeed. Invest NI and Catalyst sent Ciaran to MIT in the US for a week. It transformed him and his business. In a week.

It took him just eight weeks to raise €4m from Frontline Ventures amongst others.

He talks us through on how to win business. Step by step.

His 'hire in a heartbeat'? Adam Blake of MIT. We want Adam for the for the podcast. Please.
