Irish start-ups, Risso AI and Persuva AI have achieved a significant milestone by securing €100K each in Pre-Seed investments from Growing Capital. This announcement follows their successful applications to Enterprise Ireland's Pre-Seed Start Fund (PSSF), where they also raised €100K each in investment. This brings the total Pre-Seed round to a total of €200K for each of these respective start-ups. Risso AI utilises AI technology to monitor and report on noise pollution, addressing critical environmental concerns. Persuva AI specialises in creating audience-specific ad copy across all funnel stages, from cold to hot leads. Founded by Gianni Matera, Growing Capital is an early-stage investment firm specialising in supporting start-ups rooted in Ireland. Since 2015, Growing Capital has invested over €6 million in pre-seed and seed investments in 30+ companies, including Flipdish, Glofox, and Siren. Gianni Matera said: "Since the start of the Enterprise Ireland's PSSF I have now completed investments in 4 pre-seed startups. These startups share a remarkable dedication to innovation, resilience, and a deep understanding of market dynamics. We've chosen to invest in these ventures not just for their promising ideas, but for the passionate teams driving them forward and their unwavering commitment to solving real-world problems." Reacting to the news of this latest funding for Risso AI, founder Luca Marchesotti said: "The financial supports we have now received from both Enterprise Ireland and Growing Capital are critical to validating and bringing our exciting product to market, progressing our business plans, while accelerating our growth and ambition to succeed in global markets." Enterprise Ireland's Pre-Seed Start Fund (PSSF) provides start-ups with critical early-stage funding up to the value of €100k to test the market and progress their business plans for the global marketplace. The fund allows companies to progress key technical and commercial milestones required to attract future seed funding within six to 18 months. Enterprise Ireland's AnnaMarie Turley, Department Manager of Entrepreneurship and HPSU Operations, welcomes Growing Capital's initiative to match fund the PSSF investment of €100K, increasing the total pre-seed round to €200K for each of these companies. "The Pre-Seed Start Fund, in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland's broader range of services for start-ups, responds to current market needs and provides entrepreneurs with a financial offering to help accelerate their start-up business plans. "The finance provided can then be ring fenced for critical requirements including product development, recruitment and developing channels to market. Matched funding of PSSF for early-stage start-ups by investment firms such as Growing Capital is a positive development and provides a great boost of support to pre-seed start-ups Risso AI and Persuva AI ." Each of these start-ups were supported by Furthr, Ireland's largest business innovation centre, throughout the funding journey to date, assisting them in preparing their successful Pre-Seed investment fund applications, business mentoring and engaging with both Enterprise Ireland and Growing Capital. Peter Horvath , CEO and Founder at Persuva AI said: "Support from Furthr in particular, in getting us investor ready has been transformative, not just in the application process but in guiding how we structure the business to scale. This enabled us to secure both Enterprise Ireland and Growing Capital funding and has given us confidence that we were getting timely and accurate mentorship on our business growth approach." Julian Seymour, Head of Acceleration at Furthr, who worked closely with each of the start-ups in getting them investor ready stated: "Our acceleration team of consultants have worked intensively with these two companies in supporting their applications.

Numra, an AI-powered financial automation platform, today announced it has raised €1.5 million to help finance teams drive productivity and profitability. The round was led by Elkstone (Manna, Flipdish, LetsGetChecked). Numra - formerly Autonifai - provides finance and accounting teams with the tech infrastructure needed to scale. Powered by AI, the integrated and intuitive solution streamlines complex financial workflows to save time and eliminate errors to reduce costs. By offloading time-consuming tasks such as data entry, reconciliations, and error investigations, Numra's technology increases team capacity to better support clients and business development. Chartered accountancy firm providing services for Irish and international markets, BDO, are participating in the Pilot. Founded in 2023, by David Kearney (co-founder of Peblo acquired by Wayflyer) and Conor Digan (ex-Wonder, GerYourGuide] Numra today also announced the launch of its new AI-powered accounts assistant. Managed through the Numra platform, the AI Assistant improves the teams productivity by 30-50% by allowing it to manage collections, 3-way matching, payments, process invoices, and perform reconciliations and detailed cost allocations. Users can also interact with the tool over email, Microsoft Teams, Slack and other chat software to further streamline operations. "AI will have a transformative impact on the role of accountants and finance departments everywhere. The advent of LLMs means that what was once unimaginable is now possible. At Numra, our AI's capability to ingest and process vast amounts of unstructured data enables us to redefine the boundaries of productivity and transform how finance departments operate," said David Kearney, Co-Founder and CEO of Numra. Inefficiencies continue to plague the finance profession at a time when productivity and morale are more important than ever. A recent report by Gartner shows that 73% of accountants have seen their workloads surge over the past three years. Additionally, 69% of CFOs are struggling to recruit for vacant positions, while nearly one-third of finance leaders citing staff turnover and dwindling morale as major obstacles to growth. By bringing intelligent automations to finance, Numra aims to empower CFOs and their teams to modernise processes and access growth. "Numra is the perfect example of how Irish innovators are leveraging artificial intelligence to address the current and future challenges in sectors such as finance. At Elkstone, we are proud to be a part of Numra's journey from such an early stage, and to support them with the launch of their AI power accounts assistant," said Niall McEvoy, Venture Partner at Elkstone.

A review of the cross-technology event This week there was a spring in the step of folks heading to ‘Dublin Tech Summit' at the RDS centre on Dublin's southside. It was a 2-day affair on the 15th and 16th of June, where face-to-face meetings, networking and tech talks were the order of the day. Dublin Tech Summit 2022 Reviewed The bustle of chatter, talks kicking off and a very full conference space led me to Detectify where Frederico talked about the external security service his company provides. Continuous automation of pre-pentest testing such as port scanning is a valuable service to provide independently of any internal security resources deployed. My journey moved around the busy event hall to Zoom where Harry Mosley, CIO and Matthew Kenny, Systems Engineer, showcased the new smart features on their product. This included PABX integrations and internal optimizations for a better user experience. The range of booths, talks and opportunities to meet folks was impressive indeed. I chatted with some entrepreneurs who requested secrecy around their products in the pre-launch stage noting the venture capital community was well represented at the summit making it an ideal networking opportunity for both parties concerned. The legal industry was also there in the form of Sarah Wilson and her colleagues from Cleaver Fulton Rankin located in Belfast city. Sarah and her legal colleagues are specialists in data compliance and governance in the tech space. The second day started off in a less populist manner but did fill up to a respectable degree where one was wary of getting too close to people in certain parts of the summit. Talks by many companies including Mastercard Foundry (the new design/R&D divisional merger), were in full swing. I visited the Foundry booth and was brought through some projects by James Conway and Stephen Elder. The use of Mastercard apps for making payments and opening up hotel doors based on existing products was an interesting product adaptation that Stephen was working on and immediately useful in my view. James was on the data side using IBM's quantum machine to run advanced algorithms on fraud detection and mapping of fraudulent transactions across Mastercard-enabled networks identifying previously unknown cash points in the journey of the fraudulent transaction. This investigative gap can now be swiftly resolved by quantum computing innovations such as this. I went into the Lenovo booth where Antonia brought me through the complimentary service and solutions innovation from Lenovo allowing Lenovo customers to gain value from this enhanced support solution. My journey then led me to a talk on AI and ‘How humans can co-exist with AI' as a panel discussion led by Laura Ellis. I was heartened by the great point made on how repeatable task elimination gives rise to new job opportunities for those willing to learn new things and take advantage of new opportunities. The second day's afternoon saw me attend talks such as ‘From Startup to Scale up' where experiences were shared by Stephen Crowley of Flipdish and Eileen O'Meara of Stripe. Both leaders commented extensively on the COVID challenges of remote working. This included catchment areas to an office for recruitment, the requirements of leadership based on knowing your people and the prioritization around managing company culture through adverse times. I also stopped off at the ThreatLocker's booth where Eoin McGrath brought me through their scalable agent-based service that materially enhances your fleet's security posture at the application level with their managed security solution. My final stop of the day was with Michal Sukiennik of Airnauts. I chatted with Michal for some time about development challenges in today's web 2.0 world and his company's outsourcing capabilities providing an integrated service that covers the product rather than just part of the project. This is now seen as the new best practice approach to web development of digital...

Flipdish is an online directory of Irish restaurants and food businesses designed to act as an alternative to food marketplaces. The company was founded by brothers Conor and James McCarthy and is one of the latest Irish tech companies to earn unicorn status. They join us to tell their story.

In the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout, Michael Schatzberg “The Restaurant Guy'' and Jimmy Frischling “The Finance Guy'' chat with John DiLoreto, president and general manager North America at Flipdish about digitally connecting restaurants to their customers. DiLoreto leads the business for North America at Flipdish. It is a digital technology company focused on the hospitality industry. DiLoreto says, “Specifically what we focus on at Flipdish is what we call the digital consumer experience and what that means is we focus on everything between the brand meaning the restaurant and their customers and helping restaurants better engage directly with their customers and so what that can mean is, we build websites, we build mobile apps, we build kiosks, we run digital advertising for our customers. We've got loyalty programs, marketing programs, engagement, you name it everything that exists that connects the restaurant and their customers. That's our specialty and our focus. We do that in about thirty countries today and are proud to work with thousands of business around the world.” Frischling shares that Flipdish just completed a one hundred million dollar raise in their Series C round led by Chinese tech giant Tencent. Flipdish reached a valuation of $1.25 billion, making it a “unicorn” in startup speak. It follows a $48.5 million investment. DiLoreto said when asked what Flipdish will do with that investment, “I think you know it's just a testament to our mission and our focus on building the technology that our industry needs and that ultimately that consumers are looking for. When it comes to interacting and engaging with their favorite brands and restaurants in terms of what we are going to do, we're going to do what we've always done which is strictly just focused on our customers.” He adds, “what we're going to do is continue to invest in our customers.”DiLoreto talks about what convenience technology is bringing to hospitality and says, “ultimately the way I think of it is as an operator, you know what's most important to you is your customer in meeting your customer where they are and where their needs are and I think from a macro perspective there have been significant investments that have shaped and changed the way that the customer views convenience.” To hear DiLoreto talk more about Flipdish meeting the customer's demands, QR codes growing in the United States, and his thoughts on where ghost kitchens are heading, tune into this episode of Hospitality Hangout on Spotify.

Menu inflation is at an all-time-high and Christine and Keith give tips on how to deal with this crisis. They also share their thoughts on the mask mandates and outdoor dining sheds as NYC nears the end of the pandemic. [00:38] Bill de Blasio [02:40] Mask Mandates [09:03] Joe Biden's State of the Union [10:42] Restaurant Inflation [16:21] How to Deal with Inflation Costs [24:25] NYC Getting Rid of Outdoor Dining Sheds How to Deal with Inflation Menu prices hit a 39-year high inflation rate last November 2021, food-away-from-home index rose 0.6%, and prices for limited-service restaurants have risen by 7.9% over the past year. Flipdish gives tips on how to deal with inflation, but Christine and Keith share how they can sneak in subtle price increases to combat the rising costs. One is to look at your menu pricing and inventory every six months and run your numbers, another is to limit core items and write your menu accordingly to what deals you're getting and what you can find at the moment by subtly decreasing portions, and to try to redesign their menu to sell more profitable items to drive the bottom line and less on increasing sale.
