Description of Ideal Candidate

Is This Accelerator For You?

We’re looking for founders who are building global solutions to global problems.

Industry

We invest in teams and companies, not industries. If you have a globally scalable tech solution, get in touch.

Investment Stage

You’re typically at the pre-seed investment stage and are looking to close a seed round in the next 3-12 months.

Product Stage

You’re developing or testing an early product / MVP and have some early proof-points with customers.

Team

We’re looking for teams with some unique insight or competency in their domain, who are aligned on passion and vision.

Can/should non-Irish startups apply?

Yes, we do work with international startups that have a strong intent to relocate to or incorporate in Ireland. We also consider companies that are not Irish but headquartered and controlled in Ireland. This generally means that one or more of the founders live in (or are moving to) Ireland and that key business functions have their worldwide HQ here.
