Pat Lynch

Pat Lynch is a qualified accountant and has served in senior management roles within multinational companies prior to starting his own laundry business in 1998. He holds an MBA from the Open University. Since then he has spent a significant amount of time learning to invest in the Stock Market and being a successful investor.

Building, growing and selling businesses can be very profitable but can be risky. Pat started a specialised laundry in Cork in 1998 after he was made redundant as a result of the closure of Seagate in Clonmel. He subsequently sold the laundry in 2001. He then invested some of the proceeds into high potential start up companies requiring seed funding. “I usually look at the individual as well as the business they are in. It is important that we can work together” I usually take a seat on the board and provide some management advice.
