Furthr

We are incredibly proud of and honoured by the work we have accomplished over the past few years, as well as the founders we have supported. This morning, we were delighted to share the impact of this work at our Economic Impact Report event here at The Guinness Enterprise Centre. We have analysed data from 2022 to 2024 and provided a comprehensive overview of the influence that clients supported by Furthr have had on the ecosystem. As our CEO Martin said, it is all about the founders for us, and these statistics are a testament to the hard work and innovations of these brilliant entrepreneurs. Additionally, we reflected on the numerous activities we undertook in 2024, including our Furthr Foundry Pre-Seed Accelerator, Masterclasses, Ready, Set, Go Furthr, and much more. Thank you to all who came along to the event this morning, and to our exceptional speakers - Ken Cahill, Martina Fitzgerald and Barry Murphy, CFA.

This week, the Prep4Seed programme kicked off in Cork hosted by our colleagues in AxisBIC. 🔸11 High Growth Start-ups from Climate Tech, Life Sciences, FinTech, Digital Tech, Food and Sustainability selected to complete the Prep4Seed Programme 🔸Prep4Seed is a 12-week intensive Investor Ready programme delivered nationally by the Irish BICs: AxisBIC, Furthr, Propelor BIC & WestBIC in collaboration with Enterprise Ireland.
