Investor-Ready Programme

What to expect

The Dublin BIC Investor-Ready Programme is a challenging yet rewarding experience for those that are selected to participate. Each company is assigned a dedicated Dublin BIC investment preparation specialist who has deep domain and ecosystem knowledge and influence.

The programme involves a deep analysis of the product, market opportunity, competitive positioning and scalability. This process often leads to fundamental changes to the proposition, team, targets and sometimes the product or service. Participants will undergo a strategic review by a panel of independent industry experts and investors where they will pitch for investment.

The outputs

Companies successful at the strategic review stage of the programme will be certified Dublin BIC Investor-Ready! - walking away with a recognised benchmark, a validated business plan, a robust financial model and a compelling investor pitch deck.

Who should apply

An average of 20 start-ups each year are accepted into the Dublin BIC Investor-Ready Programme. Will you be one of the next cohort? Companies are selected based on the quality of the business model, vision and drive, level of innovation, competitive advantage and potential to scale internationally.
