About us

A startup studio built to remove guesswork.

We help founders move from idea to launch with structured support, direct feedback and a network that still adds value after the first sprint.

What we do

Help founders turn ideas into startups with a clearer route to market.

The work is about turning ideas into companies through clear decisions, evidence and the right mix of support at the right moment.

What we do

Give Irish and European founders a practical place to establish their ventures and move them toward investable growth.

How we work

  • Ideas are the starting line, not the finish line.
  • Founders need both ambition and support.
  • Strong foundations beat shortcuts.
  • Ireland can be a launchpad for global companies.

What makes Establish different

We blend startup, SME and governance experience into one process.

The studio is built to be useful in the real world: clear enough to act on, flexible enough for early stage, and serious enough to support future investors and boards.

Lab mindset

We work in experiments, prototypes and feedback loops.

Crossover experience

We understand startups, SMEs, boards and public bodies.

Integrated approach

Strategy, funding, branding, governance and people are connected.

Founder-first

We care about the human side as well as the commercial one.

Local roots, international outlook

Based in Ireland, working across the UK and Europe.

How we work with the ecosystem

We complement the wider startup ecosystem instead of trying to replace it.

Establish.ie aims to work alongside Local Enterprise Offices, Enterprise Ireland, universities, accelerators, co-working spaces and other partners that founders already rely on.

Let’s build something investable together

Whether you are at idea stage or preparing a seed round, we would love to hear your story.

The first conversation is about clarity, fit and the next practical step.
