Eleven high-growth Irish startups have pitched for a combined €3.9 million in funding at the Prep4Seed Investor Day, marking the culmination of the national 12-week investor-readiness programme. Delivered by the four Irish Business Innovation Centres - AxisBIC, Furthr, Propelor BIC and WestBIC - in collaboration with Enterprise Ireland, Prep4Seed supports early-stage founders to refine their investment propositions and prepare for funding conversations. Restore Blue received the One to Watch Award, while Fire&5th was recognised with the Best Pitch Award. Enterprise Ireland continues to work with the Irish BICs to strengthen investor readiness among early-stage companies and support the development of Ireland’s next generation of high-potential startups.
