Gareth Lambe, the former head of Meta Ireland, is one of a number of well-known angel investors to roll in behind Bounce Insights, a consumer research platform that has just raised €1.1 million in an oversubscribed funding round.

Anna Heraty, founder of CPL, the Dublin-listed recruitment firm, and David Shackleton, co-founder of Ding, the mobile top-up service provider, have also backed the start-up.

“What we’ve developed isn’t a marketing tool, it is a decision-making one,” Charlie Butler, Bounce’s chief executive, told the Business Post. “We are focused on research that aids decisions, not research that looks good in presentations.”
