National Digital Research Centre

The National Digital Research Centre, or NDRC, is a national accelerator programme in Ireland, for "globally ambitious" entrepreneurs, delivered by a consortium led by Dublin-based Dogpatch Labs, and supported by multiple venture capital firms. It offers a "mentorship-driven" approach, with €100,000 "founder-friendly" funding, and early stage supports including non-equity pre-accelerator programmes available to entrepreneurs across Ireland.[1] It also runs a Masterclass Series for companies working in the start-up space, teaching them how to support young digital venture teams with significant scale potential.[2] It succeeded a previous version of the concept, run by a team on behalf of five Irish third-level institutions.
