Maeve
Crowley
Associate
An overly competitive sports person trying to channel that energy into hopefully more productive and beneficial pursuits.
Prior to joining Smedvig, I held several roles across finance, from providing capital and restructuring advice at DC Advisory to deploying capital at BNP Paribas and Cyan Finance. This gave me the opportunity to work with a wide range of companies, from some of the largest in the UK, to those pre-revenue. Seeing these companies’ journeys has given me an appreciation of the challenges that businesses face at different phases in their growth. It got me excited to join Smedvig and work with ambitious, early-stage companies, to help them build & scale.

A conversation with Maeve
What's the best bit of advice you've ever been given?
Be curious / keep going.
Why VC?
As well as the variety of the job and the different set of challenges that it brings, it's the opportunity to work with transformative tech companies as they disrupt markets and support them on that journey.

What do you do when you're not supporting great companies?
Spend time perfecting my dance moves, running around a tennis court, or trying to find the next new music artist to over listen to. Also an avid, albeit often disappointed, supporter of all Irish sporting efforts.
