Whoop, a Boston-based sports wearable company backed by Irish golfer Rory McIlroy, is set to open its first European office in Dublin.
Following questions from the Sunday Independent, the company, which raised $100m in Series E Funding at a $1.2bn (€1bn) valuation last October, confirmed its plan to set up its Irish base.
Alex Jacobs, a senior manager of PR and communications for Whoop, said: Following a year of hypergrowth, Whoop plans to open its first European office in Ireland and further invest in global expansion.
“Dublin is a natural launching point with its proximity to Whoop headquarters in Boston, a deep well of international talent, and a strong community of top tech businesses.
