Irishman launches €1m fund to help new innovators

A Co Meath man who left school at 17 and started his first business at his kitchen table has launched a €1 million innovation fund to invest in the next generation of home-grown entrepreneurs.

UK-based Noel Moran and his wife Valerie are behind the money pot which aims to find innovative new technology solutions in the FinTech (Financial Technology) industry.

Their company, Prepaid Financial Solutions Ltd. (PFS), is one of the fastest growing e-money institutions in Europe and employs 175 people across four locations.
