What founders say

Short reflections from founders we have been proud to support.

  • “WestBIC has been instrumental in accelerating investor readiness through strategic support of the outstanding key activities (incl. Prep4Seed, financial modelling, and grant applications), significantly compressing overall timelines.”

  • “WestBIC provided business model development and strategic planning services through consultations and workshops. This helped identify new market opportunities, develop a sustainable revenue model, and provide guidance on technical developments. This support laid the foundation for the company's evolution toward an enterprise-focused approach.

    The entire engagement resulted in a clear roadmap for growth, improved data analysis capabilities, and a refined business model focused on recurring revenue streams for sustainable growth.”

  • “We engaged with WestBIC at the start of our PSSF application journey and they guided us confidently and expertly through the process, assisting with diligent reviews our application, providing guidance and encouragement throughout. To have this support as first-time founder and first time applicant was invaluable to us. WestBIC have also assisted Restore with business model development, business plan reviews in addition to highlighting numerous relevant supports to assist us further.”

  • “Slíglas followed the Irish start-up roadmap, and WestBIC was extremely helpful throughout.
    WestBIC were instrumental in supporting on the application. In addition to numerous reviews and the practical advice offered when filling out forms, WestBIC was also able to support the business behind the application, advising on key milestones to pursue and how to position for long term success. It was really valuable to have input from a team that has seen it all before and can quickly steer you in the right direction.”
