Elkstone

At Elkstone, we back winning teams looking to solve big problems in big spaces. When we met the Jentic founding team, it was clear they had a vision for the future of how AI is managed in large enterprises. We are delighted to announce that Elkstone has led a €4m funding round in Jentic to support the build of critical infrastructure for developers to connect their AI systems up to the worlds API’s. This is a stellar founding team with deep domain expertise in building and scaling a technology platform in a dynamically evolving ecosystem. With a track record of building category leading middleware, we are excited by this opportunity to back a team with a deep vision to solve for the significant challenges that developers and organisations will face with in the highly disruptive and rapidly evolving AI space. A great addition to the Elkstone Venture portfolio, we look forward to working closely with the Jentic team to build, grow and scale this innovative solution. https://lnkd.in/erGi_uiE #Elkstone #VentureCapital #IrishStartups #InvestmentOpportunities #PrivateMarketSpecialists Sean Blanchfield Dorothy Creaven Michael Cordner Tilman Schaefer Jeremy Debono Niall McEvoy
