Web Summit is the quintessential post Tiger Economy, Irish Success Story. The founders saw a niche, exploited it with tech savvy graduates, engineers and investors and have built a multi million global business. Not bad for three Irish guys who took a chance, gambled and came up good. Then personalties, opinions and resentments got in the way. Web Summit will continue it is just a pity those who evolved the idea have gone their seperate ways. Love him or hate him, characters like Paddy Cosgrave are needed in this world. Long live Web Summit!
