e-Synergy runs “NISPO”
The Northern Ireland Spin Out Initiatives support start up businesses in Northern Ireland. A venture capital fund, the Invest Growth Fund (IGF) focuses on seed and early stage businesses with high growth potential and the Invest Growth Proof of Concept Fund (IGPoC) provides funding to very early, non-university projects.
e-Synergy are seeking applications for their Committee and Panel for both the Invest Growth Fund and the Proof of Concept Fund. They’re looking for entrepreneurial individuals with impressive track records of success and sound judgement. Neither position is salaried.
For my part, I’ve asked for the forms but I’d be interested in being on the Assessment Panel for the Proof of Concept fund. It’s core to my desires of helping to generate a dynamic knowledge-based digital economy in Northern Ireland – a desire which is both separate but complementary to my day job as Facilitator for the Digital Circle.
