Laura Richards

POSTITLOCAL

Laura is a passionate entrepreneur on a mission to bring Irish towns back to life - one community at a time. As the driving force behind PostItLocal, she’s building a user-friendly app that connects local residents with businesses, events, courses, jobs and opportunities right in their own neighbourhoods.

Rooted in her commitment to local growth and community sustainability, Laura believes that every town has unique talent and potential worth showcasing. Through PostItLocal, she aims to give independent businesses, organisers and residents a digital platform to shine, especially in places that often get overlooked.

With a background in tech and grassroots community work, Laura brings together the best of both worlds: digital innovation and hometown heart. She spends her time collaborating with local business owners, designing simple solutions for real problems (like discoverability and engagement) and celebrating the success stories of small-town Ireland.

When she’s not working, you’ll find Laura exploring her local café scene, volunteering at community events and championing the message that a strong local network is the best foundation for growth.
