Mark Hughes

Co-founder and CEO of Solidroad (W25). Before Solidroad, I founded Gradguide, a coaching and mentorship network for recent grads, where I raised €2M, grew the team to 20, and exited in late 2022. Earlier in my career, I led Sales, Support, and Customer Success for EMEA at Chargify (now Maxio) and worked as an early sales rep at Intercom. I studied Business at Trinity College Dublin and spent a year at HEC Paris.

Patrick Finlay

Co-founder and CTO of Solidroad (W25) and a second-time founder. Previously co-founded Monaru (S2019), where we helped individual creators earn $100k+ each by selling live classes online. Before that, I was as a product engineer at Intercom. I hold a BAI in Computer Engineering from Trinity College Dublin; my research focus was on dispute resolution mechanisms for Ethereum smart contracts.
