Notable quotes
“Typically, we invest in about one in 100 companies that we meet. Our model for this fund is to invest in five a year.”
“As entrepreneurs and founders ourselves, we understand the challenges that start-ups face for funding, particularly in the current economic climate, however we believe it is still a great time for software founders to build a business in Ireland with lots of opportunities available.”
“We are delighted to launch our third fund and now have around £110m to invest across the UK and Ireland in ground-breaking AI companies. As a founder turned investor myself, I understand too well the challenges founders face whether it be product, technology, financial or talent related.”
