Dogpatch Labs

Dogpatch Labs is a startup and innovation hub located in the historic chq Building and in the heart of Dublin’s Digital Docklands. We foster entrepreneurship for startups, facilitate technology innovation for companies of all sizes and nurture transformative social enterprises.

Our mission is to accelerate the development of Ireland’s startup and innovation ecosystem, with space, community, events, and programmes to help entrepreneurial talent succeed. 

Listed as Crunchbase ‘top 10 incubators around the world you need to know’, we’re home to over 85 startups and over 400 members from 30 countries. Our alumni include many of Ireland’s fastest growing tech companies including tech unicorn Intercom. 

We run Ireland’s national startup accelerator programme NDRC in collaboration with regional hubs Republic of Work, RDI Hub and Portershed. This includes an equity based accelerator (€100k investment), pre-accelerators and ecosystem building activities.

Dogpatch Labs has a corporate innovation arm that helps large organisations with ‘work with’ or ‘work like’ startups. Partners include Ireland's national energy body (ESB), a leading European bank (RBS / Ulster Bank), a global FMCG (Unilever), global agricultural company (Alltech) and the 3rd largest re-insurance company in the world (Hannover Re).

We manage Ireland’s largest monthly startup ecosystem event, First Fridays, delivered across the island by our partner hubs in the Irish Tech Hub Network in partnership with Google, Salesforce, Microsoft, Hubspot and Logitech.

As part of our focus to create a better policy environment for startups Dogpatch created and spun-out ‘ScaleIreland’ as an independent voice for startups. 

Acknowledged as a world-class entrepreneurial hub catalysing the ecosystem in Ireland, Dogpatch Labs was awarded the Google for Entrepreneurs Global Citizenship Award in September 2017. 

We understand the importance of staying connected to our industry partners, cutting-edge technologies, and top tier tech startups; and the Dublin Tech Summit is a fantastic platform that we are proud to partner with.

We're continually building opportunities for our partners and members to connect, learn, and grow within the tech ecosystem; and together, we're supporting our community with tools and resources to accelerate their startup journeys.

Some of our People, Members and Irish Tech Hub network partners were in attendance today, and will be onsite again tomorrow so make sure to reach out and connect if you're there!

Connecting startups, industry partners, and sustainability innovation on today’s panel at the National Sustainability Summit.

Moderated by our Head of Sustainability Ashley Shak, ESB Head of Corporate Innovation Geraldine Moloney and founder Angie Nagle shared an inspiring #2050Accelerator journey from ideation to pilot: innovation partner ESB teamed up with Cork-based BladeBridge, to launch an e-mobility hub together, and recently featured in Europe’s largest transport research conference with Minister Eamon Ryan with said pilot.

Working with a partner like ESB, who is committed to collaborating with the startup ecosystem among others, illustrates how much impact we can have, especially in the climate innovation space.

“We need more women-led investment Limited Partners (LPs) and General Partners (GPs) in Ireland, to fund the amazing women-led companies we have here, “ Suzanne Mills (former Dogpatch Labs leader supporting early-stage startups at NDRC and angel investing at HBAN )

A privilege to play a supporting role as an event sponsor for huge advocates for women entrepreneurs in tech - TechFoundHer - at today’s movie premiére of Show Her the Money.

Themes emerging from today: more women investing in women-led companies, capital efficiency, thriving innovation in traditionally underserved areas, a focus on revenue generation from the get-go, and getting comfortable with asking for what they need!

Congrats to Máirín Murray and the TechFoundHer team!

At Dogpatch Labs, we're committed to connecting startups to a network of opportunities, and supporting the growth of the tech ecosystem. This collaboration with University of Limerick and Immersive Software Engineering  creates a robust talent pool, and a community of top-tier technology students who will qualify, ready to hit the ground running.

The future is bright for the next generation of tech pioneers, and we can't wait to see what they achieve!
