• E264 That Great Business Show - 'Invest like a pro' - JoinShuttle.com & Business opportunities in Pittsburgh, PA - Matt Smith, Allegheny Conference

  Episode 264 That Great Business Show with Conall Ó MoráinNow on video — watch this episode on YouTube.Invest like the pros: Yourshuttle.com founders Rob Halligan & Scott Ashmore say they only list deals where a top fund is also investing — and they run their own multi-stage checks before anything goes live. A €250-a-year subscription opens the door. They’ve already backed six deals alongside around 20 funds, with more in the pipeline. They explain why founders welcome their community for more than just the cheque (though that helps!).Why Pittsburgh, why now: Matt Smith of the Allegheny Conference makes a great case for Irish SMEs to test the US via The Steel City, Pittsburgh. Check out State corporate tax phasing from 9.9% toward 4.9%, some new incentives, and a playbook that connects you straight to CMU/Pitt talent (aka Big Brains particularly in AI and Robotics). Plus: it’s a logistics sweet spot — half a day’s drive to circa 40% of the US market — as well as a lower cost base than the US coasts.This show is powered by De Facto Shaving Oil — made in Mayo, sold worldwide.Follow us on LinkedIn for clips, extras and guest call-outs.
