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.
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.
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.
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.
Option 1: Angel Investment
Capital for your business, with a side of expertise
We work with startups and established businesses alike, bringing the injection of capital they need to unleash their true potential. We bring much more than just finance, though. We bring our full business experience and know-how, too. Some of our favourite areas are the bits most business people hate, like marketing and tech, which is handy. Find out more…
Option 2: Business Partner Scheme
Sharing the risk, work and reward in a joint-venture
Some companies want more than just a business investor, they are looking for a full business partner. We form joint ventures and get hands-on in the business. You can focus on the parts of your business you love, as we bring our full skill-set to the rest. Tech, Marketing, Business know-how and Investment. We work with both established businesses and start-ups. Find out more…
A good angel investor brings more than just money
Here are a few of our favourite skills we bring along with us. Our investment comes with support and guidance for your business. And our business advice is more than gut instinct, it’s advice from experience. All tested and proven at the coalface.
Digital Marketing & SEO
If you’ve got a great product, we can make sure the world finds out. Tried and tested techniques from years at the coalface. It’s our job to make sure anyone who should know about your product does.
Custom Software & Web Apps
Custom software is all about making your business better. Understand your business first, design the perfect software second. Your very own team of tech nerds with business brains.
Business Advice and Consultancy
The ultimate business sounding board. We get deeply involved with all our partners, bringing our full business experience with us. We’re in your corner right from day one.
From zero to (multi-million turnover) hero.

Our Business Investment Services
#1: Business Angel Investor
An injection of capital into your business by someone who shares your vision, your passion and your postcode.
We are experienced business investors, who bring more than just money to the table. Our full business skill set comes along too. Business know-how, tech and marketing are a few of our personal favourites to bring along.
And we’ve been there before. Experience, knowledge and finance all rolled into one. Kind of like a business jetpack.
#2: The Business Partner Scheme
Our partnership scheme is for people who want more than just angel investment. It’s for those who’d like a business partner, too.
We form partnerships with incredible businesses, both new and old, sharing the risk, work and reward.
You know your amazing product and customers inside out. But, then there’s everything else that’s holding your business project back. We can give you a full business team at the flick of a switch - tech, marketing, investment and expert business advice - all taken care of.
Your incredible project, with our know-how and resources - that’s business magic. Our partnership scheme could even be the best discovery you’ve made all week.
Your expertise in your industry is watertight.
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.
It’s all the other stuff that you need to know to be a great business leader, and the knowledge we’ve used to turn start-up ideas into a business reality.
