A community and fund for early-stage founders building breakout companies with breakthrough tech.
We believe that
Startups are a series of increasingly complex experiments.
There are no shortcuts, blueprints or playbooks, only iterations.
Breakthroughs happen when founders share in a community.
COMMUNITY + SPACE
Baseline is a community and space for early-stage founders who are building breakout and break-through tech companies. It's a space where founders can experiment, build velocity, and be plugged into a global network of like-minded founders.

PRE-SEED FUND
A €5m fund, we're Ireland's only dedicated and privately backed pre-seed VC, investing €100,000 as first cheque investors into pre-seed companies building AI native SaaS, with a bias towards intelligent automation, and infrastructure for execution-heavy or regulation-heavy environments.
