The Scale Up programme is part of Endeavor’s not-for-profit mission to support the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem and reflects our continued commitment to our all-island mission this year.

The 2025 Scale Up programme is proudly sponsored by our partners at @Venturewave_Cap, who have been instrumental in their backing of innovative entrepreneurs across the island of Ireland.

Announcing the 2025 Scale Up Cohort for Northern Ireland! This five-month initiative will provide tailored mentorship from Endeavor’s global and local network to accelerate their growth journey. Learn more about the programme and meet the cohort:

@EndeavorIreland has selected six founder-led companies to participate in the second edition of its Northern Ireland Scale Up Programme, an initiative designed to accelerate the growth of high-potential entrepreneurs. Managing Director of Endeavor Ireland, Aileen Hayes, said;

Last night, we hosted our first regional event, bringing together founders in Cork to connect and share insights from their scaling journeys. This highlighted the momentum of Cork’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and its ability to cultivate high impact founders and leaders.

Incredible insights from top founders @Tines, ZeroMission, @TrustapPayments, and @SisuClinic on scaling globally at the Innovation & Growth event yesterday. Thanks @Stripe and @NTMA_IRL for hosting this great event.

Yesterday, Endeavor Entrepreneurs Barry Napier and Aimee Connolly, along with Endeavor Board Member @MRding , @realBobbyHealy and @RayNolan joined @ucddublin's Commerce & Economics Society for a panel discussion about entrepreneurship. It seems like everyone got the pink memo😅

Congrats to Karl, who is now the 15th Endeavor Entrepreneur in Ireland across 11 incredible companies—and our first Northern Irish entrepreneur! This marks a key milestone as we expand Endeavor’s support to NI founders in the coming months.

During the International Selection Panel in Dublin, Karl was interviewed by Sergio Furio, of @Creditas_Br, Monica Brand Engel of @QuonaCapital, Martín Escobari of @generalatlantic, Arvind Rajan, Jason Borschow of @AbarcaHealth, and Taddy Hall of @lippincottbrand.

Karl was selected on the basis of @raylo's strong growth, his financial acumen, his deep understanding of the customer and their needs, and his global ambitions for the future of the business.

Founded in 2018, @raylo offers new and refurbished smartphones and other consumer electronics through a subscription model, aiming to make these products more accessible and affordable while providing a sustainable option for leasing electronic devices.

Exciting news! Karl Gilbert, Co-founder and CEO of @raylo is officially an Endeavor Entrepreneur.

A huge thank you to our partners @KPMG_Ireland, Rothschild & Co, @IDAIRELAND and @cubictelecom for making this possible and supporting Endeavor Ireland in welcoming our global network.

Endeavor Ireland Board Member Elaine Coughlan, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of @atlanticbridgev, participated as a panelist alongside @endeavor_global Global Board Chair Edgar Bronfman Jr.

Over 2.5 days, panelists spent time with candidates to select Endeavor Entrepreneurs. The panelists—an incredible mix of venture investors, and entrepreneurs —interviewed 19 candidate companies from around the world evaluated their potential for high-impact growth.

Endeavor Ireland hosted @endeavor_global 100th International Selection Panel (ISP) in Dublin in September. The ISP marks the culmination of a rigorous 12 to 18-month search and selection process, during which Endeavor identifies the newest classes of Endeavor Entrepreneurs.

Thank you to Minister @daracalleary for delivering the opening remarks. We want to thank the @Entirl team for their support and collaboration. We look forward to developing more home-grown, sector-leading global businesses through this partnership.
