Patch

Building the next generation of young tech entrepreneurs is a key part of what we do at Dogpatch. Patch is a perfect example of this. One week ago today, 36 young builders were gearing up for what was to be the largest Patch Showcase to date. From robot dogs, to biodiversity infringement, to an AI-generated escape room, the projects emerging from the Patch youth accelerator this summer knew no bounds. Six weeks of hacking and building, learning from founders who’s “been there done that” including CoderDojo’s James Whelton, FoodCloud’s Iseult Ward, Intercom’s Des Traynor, plus a host of more star-studded lineup. 11 Patchers pitched to an audience filled with the startup ecosystem’s finest, who packed Dogpatch’s Urban Garden to get a first glimpse at this next generation of entrepreneurs and builders.

We are thrilled to host the brilliant Patch team at Ormeau Labs today for an afternoon of innovative learning! 🌟 🚀Patch is a vibrant community of driven and curious young individuals dedicated to building, learning, and creating together. Each summer, Patch runs a free program for talented youth to develop impactful projects and innovative business ideas. Post-program, participants become part of the Patch alumni community, enjoying exclusive events, targeted mentorship, and continuous career support. 💡We were especially excited to have the RETìníZE team join us this afternoon, showcasing their cutting-edge VR technology to our eager Patchers- inspiring innovation in action!

An idea born in Patch youth accelerator 2020, Field Of Vision Technologies has created a haptic response tablet for use in different sports by millions.
