KPMG Ireland has released their latest Venture Pulse Q3 2024 report, outlining the current state of the VC landscape. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of global venture capital trends, with data sourced from PitchBook. Irish medtech companies Luminate Medical and Loci Orthopaedics secured the top deals this quarter. As Anna Scally of KPMG Ireland noted on RTE’s Morning Ireland, while overall investment is down compared to Q2'24, 28 deals were completed, with over $100.9 million invested in Irish companies. With falling interest rates, the new cycle of the Seed and Venture Capital Scheme (2025-2029), along with the enhanced Angel Investor CGT relief, we can expect to see a jump in VC investments in Irish start-ups and scale-ups from early 2025. A recent example of strong funding activity in the Irish startup scene is the $7.6 million pre-seed raise by AI platform Zerve AI, led by Phily Hayes, Jason Hillary, and Greg Michaelson. As we look ahead to the rest of 2024, we are interested to see how the trends mentioned in KPMG Ireland’s report emerge.

In an independently produced survey with Amárach Research about business costs, small businesses were asked about the impact of rising business costs in the past 12 months. This survey revealed that 83% of small businesses in Ireland are facing escalating costs.   Moreover, 35% of businesses report that they cannot continue trading beyond six months without additional funding. David Broderick, Director of the SFA, underscores the severity of the situation: “The fact that over a third of small businesses will run out of liquidity within six months without any financial aid shows how cash-strapped they are. One in five small businesses have secured funding from friends and family to cope with rising costs. This is an alarming reality.”   Supporting small businesses, the lifeblood of our communities, is more critical than ever.   For the complete survey results and detailed insights, visit: https://lnkd.in/emuD69XM #SmallBusinesses #BusinessCosts #CostEscalation #SFA #SupportSmallBusiness Ibec Jonathan McDade Geraldine Magnier
