Partnership to accelerate Northern Ireland’s most ambitious tech start-ups

Raise Ventures and Moyola.io have today announced their Pathway to Growth programme for Spring 2025, to catalyse 15 of Northern Ireland’s most promising start-ups.

The initiative has partnered with Barclays’ Eagle Labs via their Ecosystem Partnership Programme – funded by UK Government – with additional support from Innovation Factory, Software NI and Ormeau Baths.

The 15 selected startups are set to undergo sales workshops and bespoke mentoring in specialist incubator workspaces provided by Innovation Factory and Ormeau Baths. This will culminate in a high-profile Growth Sales Conference, to include live sessions on closing a sale, alongside training for teams.

 The Pathway to Growth Sales Conference on Thursday 10 April is open to the wider ecosystem of tech companies across Northern Ireland

Jenny Ervine (Raise Ventures) and Seamus Cushley (Moyola.io) commented, “There has been a huge shift in the tech landscape from startups and investors driving the need to get sales and conversions into business so they can scale and grow. In Northern Ireland we have great innovators and builders bringing technology to market, the opportunity and challenge is to develop and integrate key sales processes early - tooling up the startup teams for success.”

Michael McCluskey and Neil Hutchenson (Software NI) commented, “We are delighted to support this initiative to help drive sales within the software and technology sector along as sales is a key pillar of our strategy for 2025.”
