## Resource

Two former University of Limerick students, Ryan Morrissey and Bence Redmond, are heading to San Francisco to join Y Combinator’s elite Summer 2026 cohort — a dream launchpad for startups like Stripe and Airbnb. Their AI-powered fintech startup, Blueprints, is revolutionizing prediction markets by turning user insights into actionable investment strategies. Born from their college collaboration in the Immersive Software Engineering program — even building solar panel software together — they’ve already attracted over $500K in trading volume from 250+ users since their beta launch. After internships at Stripe and AWS, they dropped out to focus full-time on Blueprints, now backed by Ireland’s National Digital Research Centre. With Demo Day in September, they’re poised to scale their mission: making complex financial markets accessible to everyone.
