A place to work, share and succeed together. 300+ incredible members, 55+ indigenous tech start-ups #backedbyAIB
About us
PorterShed is the ultimate mashup of entrepreneurs, startups, growth companies, educational institutions, state agencies and local government. After 8 successful years in supporting the tech start-up community, PorterShed has achieved one of its primary goals to establish an innovation ecosystem in downtown Galway that creates a synergistic relationship between people, companies, and place, that facilitates idea generation, open learning, collaboration and accelerates commercialisation. Spaces for entrepreneurs need to be complemented by the skills to succeed as a startup founder - so that people know how to progress their idea, technology or passion through to a successful startup, or to produce a new innovation within existing companies. PorterShed allows entrepreneurs to use collaborative spaces, coworking spaces, mingle with other entrepreneurs and have efficient access to everything from insights into the latest technology to legal and financial advice. Rather than endure long commutes and daily congestion, residents of PorterShed can choose to work and live in places that are connected, walkable, bike-able and connected by technology. PorterShed was set up to address a number of needs in Galway. A recurring theme was the lack of a downtown innovation hub for incoming and indigenous startups - fast forward 8 years later, we now have three city centre locations with 300+ incredible members, 55+ indigenous tech start-ups, scale-ups and fast landing multinational tech companies. PorterShed is a showcase for Galway’s tech startup scene. We want companies to come here to start their ideas, to grow, and to scale before succeeding. Whether we are providing space for start-ups to develop in, pointing founders in the right direction, or amplifying their wins, we want to see them succeed; their success is our success, and we love being part of their journeys.
