Frequently asked questions
How does the Digital Irish Venture Fund source its deals?
The fund sources through the Digital Irish network, a transatlantic community of Irish professionals in technology, media, and finance. This gives it access to deal flow from Irish founders in New York, Boston, London, and Dublin. The network model means many portfolio companies come through warm introductions from diaspora members rather than cold outreach or accelerator demo days.
Does the fund require that portfolio companies be based in Ireland?
No. The investment thesis centers on founder nationality, not company location. A startup must have at least one Irish founder, but the company can be incorporated and headquartered anywhere. In practice, the portfolio skews toward companies in New York and other US tech hubs where Irish founders have relocated.
