The greatest challenge every start-up faces is to deliver products that customers want and are prepared to pay for. Discovering that group of customers is a risky business of trial and error. The timeline to find these customers is tight and runway limited.
Enterprise Ireland is delighted to announce the launch of a new initiative, SPRINT, to help founders address this challenge.
SPRINT sets out to fundamentally change the way Irish start-ups are built by equipping founders with the tools to get to product-market fit faster. It combines Silicon Valley and local expertise to provide a systematic way of helping founders learn what customers want more quickly.
Places on SPRINT will be awarded to successful applicants of the Digital Content Competitive Fund (CSF) which was launched in September 2013. A small number of places are also available to digital content companies who were successful in achieving CSF in previous years, on a competitive basis. The closing date for applications is 4 November 2013.
