Act Venture Capital

- Ireland is at the foothills of opportunity. - Companies, especially in deep tech, need to raise €50 million+. - We need to be able to do that from Ireland. - Ireland can move from being this FDI-only economic engine into building companies of a similar scale in Ireland if we can match that ambition.

Manufacturing represents 15% of global GDP and can use up to 25% of a country’s energy supply. This is a large market where big problems exist around extracting, understanding and leveraging data. When you’re in a factory, equipment is varied and processes can change. The core thesis behind Paul Byrnes and Koen Jasper's Mavarick is that each factory deserves its own AI co-pilot, which is trained on the unique data from the complex mesh of machines and processes. This will ultimately drive the bottom line and help achieve sustainable manufacturing. We are delighted to be supporting Mavarick at the start of their journey and look forward to working with the Mavarick team. https://lnkd.in/eB2eag4k
