Ndrc

The NDRC is Ireland’s national startup accelerator programme for globally ambitious entrepreneurs, powered by Dogpatch Labs in partnership with Portershed, RDI Hub, and Republic of Work. We help startups to succeed at every stage of their journey through coaching and mentoring, with a founder-first approach delivered by international experts. NDRC early stage supports including Office Hours and Founder Weekend to give founders early feedback on their idea, and help them navigate the ecosystem quickly. Our Pre-Accelerator programmes help develop and structure a startup idea to raise investment and reach accelerator-readiness. The national NDRC Accelerator @ Dogpatch Labs offers €100k founder-friendly investment using a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) with mentorship from 40+ successful entrepreneurs and weekly coaching from Entrepreneurs in Residence. Additional value-adds include tailored supports, 12 months of space at Dogpatch Labs, €500k perks, post-accelerator support and more. Our Masterclass Series educates members of the ecosystem such as startup hubs, corporates, and Government agencies on how to support startup teams with significant scale potential.
