Twenty start-ups have been founded as a result of Ireland’s first tech talent accelerator, with eight of these having already secured €100,000 apiece in funding.

The accelerator is aimed at matching individuals from different backgrounds and with different skill sets to build new high-impact digital start-ups.

Founders,  which is hosted at Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, is funded by returns from successful investments in Irish start-ups through Ireland’s national start-up accelerator, NDRC.
