The High Potential Start Up Class of 2014 Contents Welcome2 Julie Sinnamon, Chief Executive Officer, Enterprise Ireland Introduction4 Kevin Sherry, Manager, High Potential Start-Ups & Growth Engagement, Enterprise Ireland High Potential Start Ups 6 Competitive Start Fund 42 New Frontiers 70 Investors and Supports for Start Ups 76 Welcome Julie Sinnamon, Chief Executive Officer, Enterprise Ireland Supporting the establishment of new start-up businesses and new business sectors is crucial to the creation of a vibrant indigenus business sector in Ireland and a key pillar in Enterprise Ireland’s strategy ‘Driving Enterprise, Delivering Jobs’. During 2014, we were pleased to work with 102 new high potential start up companies and 81 early stage businesses through the Competitive Start Funds to help them to establish new businesses with international potential. The entrepreneurs and founders represented in the Class of 2014 have already achieved success; establishing a new business against challenging economic conditions, is testament to the competitive products and services of these companies and the ambitious and capable founders, whose innovation, hard-work and determination has led them to today. Enterprise Ireland has partnered with these companies to help them achieve this success and our teams at home and abroad have eased open doors of opportunity in global markets. Start-ups are a powerful engine of economic growth because they lead to significant job creation, especially at regional level. Recognising the important economic contribution made by start-up businesses to the Irish economy, we have expanded our mandate, and now work with a broader base of new start-up businesses, through Local Enterprise Offices. Our priority is to help more Irish businesses to start and to grow through international trade. We are backing entrepreneurs with big ideas to grow their businesses in international markets. We are putting in place a support mechanism that can accelerate not only the pace of growth, put also the number of Irish start-up businesses that achieve scale through international sales. Achieving this vision will require a major drive for scale among all of our client companies, from the outset, from early stage entrepreneurs and new start-up companies. Our ambition is to drive Ireland’s national entrepreneurship performance, working with capable and ambitious entrepreneurs and start-ups all across the country. 2 For the companies themselves, success will result in their ability to grow their businesses to a scale that delivers optimal return on the investment made. For Enterprise Ireland, the return on driving Irish enterprise will be in the jobs created in towns and villages all across Ireland. Our aim is to harness the innate ‘entrepreneurial spirit’ that exists in Ireland, to motivate creative business people to innovate, to disrupt and to drive growth, through internationalisation. We contribute to the establishment of the optimal entrepreneurship eco-system, to facilitate entrepreneurs like those of the ‘Class of 2014’ to start new and exciting businesses. We congratualte the ‘Class of 2014’ for their achievements to date. Know that you are in very good company. You join the many talented, creative and ambitious entrepreneurs that, over the years have taken the brave step required to set up a new business. Many have grown into international companies of real scale. Companies like Eishtec, the Waterford-based customer contact solutions provider that has grown from zero to 1000 employees in just three years and Dublin-based CarTrawler, the world’s leading car rental marketplace, that last year announced the creation of 400 new jobs over the next three years. Our ambition for you, the ‘Start-up Class of 2014’, is that you will achieve similar success and that your businesses will be the Irish business success stories in the years to come. All the indicators are that the growth trajectory for Irish enterprise if very much upwards. The feedback from our offices across the world is that ‘doors are open for Ireland’. We look forward to working with you, to help you gain access to these markets so that together we can contribute to making this small nation a global leader in the supply of innovative technologies for global customers. 3 Introduction Kevin Sherry, Manager, High Potential Start-Ups & Growth Engagement, Enterprise Ireland The Enterprise Ireland HPSU Class of 2014 highlights and acknowledges the new high potential start-up companies that Enterprise Ireland has directly invested in and supported in 2014. These are the new ambitious promoters that will go on to become part of the ever growing number of internationally focussed Irish companies that each year are increasing Irish exports and Irish jobs. This annual event is one of the largest gatherings of Irish startups and investors and is a great testament to the strength and vibrancy of our start-up environment. This year they include over 102 HPSU companies that Enterprise Ireland has invested in and that have successfully raised seed funding, along with 81 early stage businesses that were supported by Enterprise Ireland under our Competitive Start Fund (CSF), which injects critical early stage funding into new businesses. The event also features projects from each of the 12 New Frontiers programmes, Ireland’s national entrepreneur development programme delivered at local level by the Institutes of Technology and funded and managed by Enterprise Ireland. The impact of these new start-ups can be felt across a wide range of business sectors, and across all regions. These include Software & Services, Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical, Cleantech and Engineering and Food and Consumer Products. A particular highlight of the year was the continued strong performance in the number of new female-led start-ups. Last year Enterprise Ireland expanded its ambitious programme to drive an increase in the number of new projects being set up by female entrepreneurs. New initiatives during the year included the development of female accelerator programmes in partnership with knowledge providers and the launch of Enterprise Ireland’s first peer-to-peer online networking platform for female-led companies. I am delighted that 2014 turned in the highest number ever – we supported 43 new female-led start-ups during the year, 18 HPSUs (up from 14 in 2013) and 25 Competitive Start companies. 4 The third level sector continued to deliver exciting new startup projects, with 16 spin-out companies from Higher Education Institutes supported in 2014 to become HPSUs – 11 HPSU investments and 5 CSF investments. These spin-outs are built on publicly-funded research so their success in becoming HPSUs and securing considerable private investment is particularly welcome. In 2014 29 spin-out companies were formed in Higher Education Institutes and 168 technologies were licensed to companies. 2014 also saw a very strong performance in the food and drinks sector, with Enterprise Ireland supporting 12 new food and drink start-up projects, the highest number ever. A feature of these projects was the high number of female promoters involved, and their good regional spread. Last year we also had 14 new start up projects from overseas, 10 HPSUs and 4 under the CSF initiative, involving a range of sectors with founders who have moved to Ireland from Singapore, India, Switzerland and Germany. Enterprise Ireland is committed to supporting the Government’s ambition to make Ireland the best small country in the word to start and grow a business. The Irish eco-system is a highly attractive environment for start-ups and I want to acknowledge the tremendous work done by the business, education and funding communities to ensure we achieve this ambition. In particular I would like to thank our partners who continue to nurture and invest in start-ups - in particular the Local Enterprise Offices, Business Innovation Centres, angel investors, incubators, accelerators and mentors. I salute the courage and determination of the entrepreneurs of the HPSU Class of 2014 as they build competitive, export-oriented business that can compete with the best and succeed across world markets. Enterprise Ireland looks forward to working with you and assisting you with every step of your journey. 5 High Potential Start Ups High Potential Start Ups 4Impacts Intelligent Solutions Adama Innovations ALARManager AltraTech AmbiSense ADN Materials AQ Metrics Ardoo Caresafe Arralis Asystec Atlantia Food Clinical Trials Beats Medical BioCore Environmental Bizimply Buildingeye Capsos Medical Clindox Cloud Strong Coindrum Connexicon Medical CORLYTICS Datahug Dee’s Wholefoods Drop Dustcloud Embo Medical Emmerald Polymers Farmflo Flashpoint Frockadvisor Glynn Technical Diamonds Good Travel Software Gordon Games GreenLetterbox.com GRID Finance Harpoon H&G Midas Technology Solutions HealthBeacon Hibergene Diagnostics Hiri Homestay.com Iconic Translation Machines ICP NewTech Iheed Incol Indigo InvoiceFair IQ Design iTagged Jobbio Keohane Seafoods Lawonline LogoGrab Love & Robots MarketHub Technologies Maven TM MMSOFT Design mockness T/A mocks. ie Moocall Multipath Networks Mustard nearForm NVMdurance O.C.E.
