Scale Ireland's State of Start-ups Survey 2026

We are launching Scale Ireland’s State of Start-ups Survey 2026 to get the feedback of founders and CEOs and gauge the sentiment of the sector on key issues.
We want to get your views on issues including the availability of capital, potential of AI, staffing and skills, as well as the effectiveness of key state support and regulations.
The survey also focuses on other issues including tackling the low number of women in senior roles in the sector, and increasing awareness of sustainability.
‍It only takes a few minutes to complete the survey and it is entirely anonymous.
This initiative is supported by Google, and also Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), Enterprise Ireland, Netfeasa, Atlantic Bridge, Research Ireland, Skillnet Ireland, the Republic of Work and Tyndall National Institute. The findings will be announced to coincide with Scale Ireland’s fifth Regional Start-up Summit on the 13th February in Cork. Watch out for a further newsletter for details and to book your in-person place on a first come first served basis.
Please share the survey with other Founders and CEOs to ensure we have a good picture of the issues facing the sector.
