Startups sought in Co Cork for €300k Ludgate seed capital fund

Ireland’s first rural digital hub in Skibbereen, Co Cork, is looking for innovative startups to express an interest in a €300,000 seed capital fund.

The Ludgate Seed Capital Fund has been launched to support startups locating at the Ludgate Hub which will be able to accommodate 80 people when it’s completed in the coming weeks. The Hub will boast internet speeds of 1,000MB courtesy of SIRO — the ESB and Vodafone joint venture.

“For decades rural Ireland has been neglected,” said Glen Dimplex CEO and fund investor Sean O’Driscoll.
