Across the 37 most recent pre-seed rounds in Ireland, one disclosed deal stands apart: Jentic Technology (Dublin) raised $4M on 2025-01-01, and the rest of the disclosed amounts cluster mostly below $3M (with several $2M rounds such as Retrograde on 2024-09-02 and MixRift on 2024-08-07). That same “$2M–$3M ceiling” pattern makes the $3M exceptions—Jamango ($3M on 2024-05-09), Seapoint ($3M on 2025-09-16), and Yonder ($3M on 2022-09-27)—noticeable, but still not as large as the Jentic Technology outlier.
Geographically, Dublin dominates: most entries are Dublin-based (for example, DevAlly on 2025-10-12 and Forge Robotics is the exception among the largest deals), while other counties like Cork, Galway, Monaghan, and Limerick appear as smaller pockets. Temporally, the disclosed rounds span 2021-04-14 (Nory AI) through 2025-11-10 (Reactable AI), with a dense run in 2024 (many rounds between February and October 2024), suggesting repeated early-stage financing throughout that year; at the same time, multiple entries remain undisclosed (e.g., Reactable AI on 2025-11-10 and SomaTech on 2023-04-12).

Frequently asked
What does the largest disclosed pre-seed round look like compared to the rest of this Ireland list?
Jentic Technology (Dublin) is the largest disclosed amount at $4M on 2025-01-01. The next tier includes $3M rounds like Seapoint (Dublin, $3M on 2025-09-16) and Jamango (Dublin, $3M on 2024-05-09), while several others cluster around $2M (e.g., Retrograde $2M on 2024-09-02 and MixRift $2M on 2024-08-07).
Are there clear sector clusters in these 37 pre-seed deals?
AI appears repeatedly across the list: examples include DevAlly ($2M on 2025-10-12), Leapifai ($120K on 2025-10-06), Better Futures ($530K on 2024-06-27), and Assiduous ($550K on 2024-07-17). Beyond AI, the remaining categories show more single-company spread (e.g., Robotics with Forge Robotics, Education with SimpleStudy $810K on 2024-02-04).
Does Dublin concentration show up more than other Irish cities or counties?
Yes. A large share of entries are Dublin-based, including DevAlly (2025-10-12), Seapoint (2025-09-16), and MarketSizer Data-Driven Decisions (2024-06-21). Outside Dublin, the largest disclosed examples skew smaller and more regional, like Forge Robotics in Galway ($500K on 2025-09-18) and Candidus in Laois ($100K on 2022-10-12).
Which deals are the biggest disclosed outliers besides the overall maximum?
Beyond Jentic Technology’s $4M, the higher end includes multiple $3M rounds (Seapoint on 2025-09-16, Jamango on 2024-05-09, and Yonder on 2022-09-27). Several other larger disclosed deals sit in the $2M range (e.g., Retrograde $2M on 2024-09-02 and MixRift $2M on 2024-08-07), while smaller disclosed amounts include $80K (Kenzee, 2023-05-01) and $100K entries like Examfly (2022-08-04).
How complete is the picture when amounts are undisclosed, and does that affect comparisons?
There are multiple undisclosed rounds that limit direct size comparisons, including Reactable AI (2025-11-10) and SomaTech (2023-04-12), plus several others marked undisclosed. That means the “largest vs. rest” view is based only on disclosed amounts, where $4M (Jentic Technology, 2025-01-01) is the clear top disclosed figure.
