Female Irish founders of technology companies raised more than €100m in funding during a 12-month period for the first time last year, according to a report from TechIreland published this morning to coincide with International Women’s Day.
Last year 50 tech start-up and scale-up companies with an Irish female founder or co-founder secured €105m via venture capital, grants, equity finance and angel investments.
The figure compares to €63m raised by 50 companies with an Irish female founder or co-founder in 2019. Among the firms that raised funding last year was Payslip, based in Westport, Co Mayo.
