TechTeams is a marketplace for Irish technology project teams. The 70 teams on it are mainly composed of technology-led startups, who are willing to implement products for other startups or small/medium businesses. We decided to create it in the early Summer this year as a place where the startups in our own network could find work to help them bootstrap. It's a free service that we're going to keep running so long as it continues to help the startup and SME industries.
