Dogpatch Labs is a startup hub, located in the historic chq Building and in the heart of Dublin’s Digital Docklands. Our mission is to accelerate the development of Ireland’s startup ecosystem by providing a valuable community from where you can grow, share knowledge and form connections.
From Furniture Store...
We’re home to over 250 startups and over 500 Members. Alumni include many of Ireland’s fastest growing tech companies such as Instagram, Intercom, Boxever, Voysis, Twilio, Logentries and Profitero. Through the global Google for Startups Network we’re connected to startup ecosystems around the world.
...To Startup Hub
With the relocation to the chq Building and under the mentorship of Mervyn Greene and Neville Isdell, we entered a new phase with a distinct identity. Having expanded now to almost 40,000 sq. ft in size over 3 levels, we’re now better placed than ever to serve the tech community with the help of key partnerships with Ulster Bank, Google and more.
...To National Accelerator
In 2021 Dogpatch entered another exciting phase, as we were chosen by the Government to run the NDRC, Ireland’s national accelerator programme. Now not only do we offer an environment and platform for entrepreneurs to solve global problems, we’re also delivering a mentorship-driven accelerator and early stage supports across Ireland alongside our regional partners Portershed, RDI Hub, and Republic of Work.
Our Space
Dogpatch opened in March 2015 and has been through three distinct stages of development. The original site allowed us the opportunity to create space for up to 25 startups, many of which are still with us. The second phase of development, with the help of Ulster Bank, gave us The Vaults, our dedicated events and meeting space. Our newest and third phase was the construction of the Mezzanine Floor and our flexible hotdesking Urban Garden space.
