Supported by the Irish Strategic Investment Fund and Enterprise Ireland, Elkstone Ventures has established itself as the Irish venture ecosystem champion and is recognised as the leading early-stage venture investor in Ireland.

Our mission is to elevate the Irish venture ecosystem - helping our portfolio companies scale to their true potential and thereby delivering exceptional returns for our clients and co-investors.. Our Venture Team has diverse skills and deep-rooted connectivity to every node in the Irish venture ecosystem; as well as knowledge, experience and network across all asset classes and capital markets. 

Why to include Venture in your investment Portfolio?

Venture capital is a fundamental asset class empowering innovation, enabling the next generation of entrepreneurs to provide innovative technologies and solutions for industry, fostering a dynamic and competitive business environment. Venture as an asset class offers investors potential for high returns uncorrelated from other public market asset classes. Operating at the leading edge of disruptive technologies, venture investing is multi stage, across a wide range of sectors, and offers strong portfolio diversification potential.
