Female Founders & Funders
Since 2017, TechIreland has surveyed and mapped women-led startups. While there are +570 tech startups with a female founder or co-founder. While our women-led startuos have scaled globally, they still raise a fraction of the funding that startups in general raise.
We launched a focused campaign in 2018 to consistently track and report funding levels and growth among women-led startups. We organise workshops, networking events for founders and investors, and publish powerful insights to support the cause. If you're a woman tech founder;
- Feature your startup on our portal.
- Contribute to an upcoming report.
- Participate and speak at our events.
Innovation Island Connect
The Island of Ireland comprises of two jurisdiction; the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom.
Both regions have bustling tech ecosystems and encouraging more collaboration between startups and investors, tech vendors and sellers, services firms and product companies and similar connections will help significantly drive the all-island economy.
In 2018, TechIreland became a unique all-island resource by tracking startups on both sides of the border. We support companies develop cross-border connections, organise events to foster opportunities, and promote the all-island tech sector through data, insights and mentoring.
