Once a troubled teenager and eccentric sailor, now an entrepreneur and financier - this is the story of how Enda O'Coineen made millions in the telecommunications and information technology sectors of Central and Eastern Europe. Desperate to get off the dole during the grinding recession of 1980s Ireland, Enda discovered a unique approach that allowed him to begin his first publishing business in the middle of a recession - without any cash whatsoever. He describes how he started commercial ventures, publications and charities in the face of incredible odds and in more than a few amusing situations. Since then he has refined his formula into a distinct business philosophy, applying it over and over again to more than 15 separate enterprises. Now an established financier he presides over his own investment banking company and venture capital firm, Kilcullen Kapital Partners.
Enda O'Coineen was born in Galway in 1955. He took a Bcomm in NUI Galway before devoting the rest of his life to sailing and entrepreneurship. An adventurer and philanthropist, he has crossed the Atlantic single-handedly on numerous occasions, on one occasion in a 16ft dinghy. Enda has many involvements in charitable activates from GAISCE to the Irish Ocean Youth. As executive chairman of Kilcullen Kapital Partners, Enda runs the Mozart Venture Capital fund and has an involvement in a group of over a dozen companies with a broad range of activities in recruitment, telecommunications, mortgages banking, credit referencing and related service areas. Author of three other books, Enda divides his time between Dublin, Prague and sailing.
