UPRISE Festival Dublin - Startups we liked the look of
by Startacus Admin
Last Thursday we attended the UPRISE Festival in Dublin - it was a good one-day event, with some excellent speakers and a 
number of noteworthy startups showcasing in their exhibition area. As Startacus is all about the startups, we thought it would be fab to share word on a few of the startups that we had the pleasure of taking a look at. So in no particular order check out a few of the startups we spotted at the event below:
NB. There was loads of other good startups that were there, but these are just the ones that tickled our fancy on the day...
Flymble is a next generation travel financing platform. Book a flight for 1/10th upfront and spread the rest over time. Nice.
Bloo Vision is a binocular training system utilizing customized children’s games to treat lazy eye focusing on an age between 3 to 8 years old. Bloo Vision won the UPRISE pitch battle.

Lokalist a digital marketplace that enables buyers and sellers to instantly connect at their personal price points.
Also, not quite a startup but we liked the news that:
