Our story

“We met at LinkedIn's Dublin office in 2017, two strangers who became best friends. Our story started in D2 - Dublin's bustling tech district where global companies like Meta, Google, and LinkedIn have made their home.


One unexpected connection changed both our lives. Now, through the D2 collective, we create spaces for thousands of tech professionals to meet, connect, and find their own life-changing opportunities.”
