“The recognition garnered from the National Startup Awards opened doors we never imagined. Shortly after the ceremony, PitSeal was awarded the Agtech UCD One to Watch Award following our success at the National Startup Awards. The ripple effect of the awards extended far beyond receiving praise; it catalysed interest from investors and the Irish consumer market.”
