Success Stories



The BICs work closely with start-ups to develop business strategies, improve market readiness, and attract funding, with a particular focus on innovative, scalable enterprises.

BIC services are founder focused, not confined to any one industry vertical and are not time limited. Start-ups need time to develop and fine-tune their business models for investment and the 1-2-1 intensive support provided by the BICs is key to the achievement of these objectives.
The Irish BICs support entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses by providing a range of services aimed at helping them grow, innovate, and secure investment.
