Founder Labs is a partnership led by Ormeau Labs and supported by the AMP, Queens University and Dogpatch Labs. It is funded by Invest Northern Ireland.
We are looking for 10 ambitious tech-focused companies to work with in this cohort. The start date for the programme is the 8th September and to be considered for this you must be based in Northern Ireland when the cohort begins, and be working full time on your startup (or have the intention to go full time on successful acceptance to the programme).
Each successful applicant will receive a £25k grant and get 12 months access to the Ormeau Labs, the AMP and Dogpatch Labs as well as the world class programme content.
We collect diversity-monitoring information solely to better understand the range of backgrounds represented in our applicant pool, identify any systemic barriers, and refine our outreach so that the accelerator remains genuinely inclusive. Submission of these details is entirely voluntary, kept confidential, and reported only in aggregated, anonymised form. By being transparent about how we handle this information, we aim to foster trust, demonstrate accountability, and ensure that every founder is evaluated purely on the merits of their application.
As part of the application process for Founder Labs, we may share your information with Invest NI for the purposes of programme administration, reporting, and support. This data will be handled in accordance with Invest NI’s privacy notice, which you can view here: investni.com/privacy
