The elevator pitch

 

You've got a great business concept. But there's so much else that keeps eating your time.

We are angel investors who are here to help with all that other stuff, too. Marketing, tech, company set-up, accounting, business skills & experience - we love it all and can lead you through from start to finish.

This gives you back your time and energy to focus on growing your business.

Our current status…

As things stand, we are not looking for new businesses to invest in or new partnerships. Should this change, we’ll keep you posted here.

launching a new business idea

You’ve got an awesome business project. We’ve got a spare jet-pack.

SquareFish is a team of business investors, bringing funding and expertise to the companies we partner with. We also happen to be business gurus, tech nerds and marketing geeks, who love all the aspects of business projects that most people hate.

Most importantly, we know how to turn a great business idea into a barn-storming success, and we have a track record to prove it. So if you need an angel investor or business partner right here in Ireland, then we should chat - startups and established businesses alike. You never know, we might even end up taking over the world together.

Howdy, stranger. What brings you here?

I’m looking for an investor

An injection of capital from someone who shares your vision, your passion and your postcode. Full disclosure: we won’t be wearing a tie.

I’m a new start-up

Focus on what you’re best at and what you love. When you partner with us, we take care of the rest. A full team of business experts beside you, right out of the gate.

I need custom software

Get back to growing your business without all the tech-related stress. We will get to know your business top-to-bottom, then we bring in our tech nerds.

I need a business partner

A skilled business partner with a track record of turning great ideas into barnstorming business success stories. Oh, and we can bring along the investment, too.

How we invest in businesses

With our angel investment, we provide the money, plus any advice and guidance you need. With the business partner scheme, we also get hands-on involved. We’ll often run sections of the business like marketing and tech. The idea is that these sections match our skills, freeing you up to work on the areas you are best at.

But what about everything else a successful entrepreneur needs to know?

The Entrepreneur’s Resource Hub is our place to share the knowledge we’ve picked up over all the years of starting and running companies.
