Since winning the award for Best Emerging Company in 2009, Limerick based company Cauwill Technologies has benefited greatly, and has developed an application called PinPoints. Available through a multitude of platforms, from desktop computers to laptops to mobile phones, the application helps to get directions by one click of a button.
‘‘Cauwill Technologies was founded by two PhD graduates, so we were always confident in our ability to deliver quality technology, but winning Seedcorn gave us the confidence to believe that we could turn that technology into a high growth business,’’ said Ronan Skehill, co-managing director, Cauwill Technologies.
‘‘The feedback we received from the judges at all stages of the competition was invaluable, and both validated and strengthened the business plan. We have since been able to leverage the monetary award to incorporate the advice we received during the competition and execute our plan.’’
Seedcorn, the largest business competition on the island with a €280,000 prize fund, aims to stimulate new start-up activity, accelerate commercial development and create more opportunities for private equity investment. The competition is the largest on the island in terms of the prize fund available and as well as offering fantastic cash incentives, Seedcorn provides invaluable support and advice from some of the island’s top investment experts and the competition mimics a real Venture Capital investment process.
