Company and funding information checked October 30, 2026. Funding figures are rounded public reports and database estimates, not audited accounts. Some refer to cumulative funding and others to a specific disclosed round; the distinction is called out where relevant. This is a selected list, not a ranking of Dublin's ten most-funded AI companies.

Key takeaways

  • Dublin's AI startup scene spans security, workplace safety, space, finance, software infrastructure and consumer research.
  • Public funding totals vary across sources; reported figures should be treated as snapshots rather than precise rankings.
  • Several of these companies are building infrastructure and applied AI products for specific industries, not general-purpose chatbots.

Dublin's AI scene is broader than chatbots

When people talk about AI startups, the conversation often goes straight to chatbots and large language models. Dublin's startup ecosystem tells a wider story. Companies are applying machine learning to security workflows, fleet operations, workplace safety, satellite imagery, financial administration, software infrastructure and market research.

Below are ten Dublin-based or Dublin-founded companies worth knowing. The selection is intended as a snapshot across different kinds of applied AI, not a definitive ranking. Funding figures are rounded from public company announcements and startup databases checked on October 30, 2026. Sources may count disclosed rounds differently, and some totals include growth investment, so treat each figure as a useful guide rather than an audited number.

10 Dublin AI startups to know

These companies work in different markets, but they share a focus on putting AI to work in a specific operational setting. Explore their products and funding notes below.

1. Tines — AI-powered workflows for security and IT

Tines helps teams build and run workflows for security and IT operations. Its platform combines automation with AI capabilities, giving technical teams a way to coordinate repetitive work across their tools. Tines announced a $125 million Series C in 2025, bringing its reported total capital raised to about $272 million. Funding announcement.

2. CameraMatics — AI-powered fleet safety

CameraMatics uses video telematics and fleet intelligence to help operators improve vehicle safety and day-to-day fleet management. The company announced a growth investment of up to €49 million in June 2026. Public databases report its total funding at roughly $67–72 million, depending on the source and conversion. Company announcement.

3. Protex AI — computer vision for workplace safety

Protex AI analyses video from existing cameras to help workplace safety teams identify risks and understand patterns in incidents. The company describes its product as an AI safety platform and reports about $54 million raised to date. That makes it one of the larger funding stories in this selected group. Company information.

4. Ubotica Technologies — AI at the edge in space

Ubotica Technologies develops onboard AI for satellites, helping process Earth-observation data closer to where it is collected. In June 2026, the Irish space technology company announced an $11 million funding round to expand its real-time satellite intelligence work. Dealroom tracks roughly $15 million in total funding. Latest round announcement.

5. Bronto — AI-native observability and log data

Bronto is building a log data platform for observability at large scale. Its focus is the infrastructure engineering teams use to investigate what their software is doing, including in the AI era. The Dublin-founded company announced a $14 million seed round in 2025. Bronto's funding announcement.

6. Seapoint — an AI-native financial home for startups

Seapoint brings financial automation, reporting and financial products together for startups. The company says it has raised €10 million to date, including a €7.5 million seed round. Its product connects financial information so founders can get a clearer view of their business and act on it. About Seapoint.

7. TensorX — dedicated infrastructure for AI inference

TensorX is developing AI inference infrastructure on dedicated European GPU capacity. Its pitch centres on performance and data sovereignty: organisations can run AI workloads within an EU-based infrastructure environment. Dealroom lists about $10 million in funding, a rounded database estimate. About TensorX.

8. Dubsof — custom AI workflows and software infrastructure

Dubsof helps organisations build bespoke software infrastructure to integrate AI into existing processes. The Dublin startup announced a $6.5 million seed round in October 2026. Its story reflects a practical challenge facing businesses: useful AI often needs to connect with the systems and workflows teams already use. Funding coverage from The Irish Times.

9. Bounce Insights — AI-powered consumer research

Bounce Insights helps brands research consumer behaviour, test ideas and understand how people respond to products and campaigns. The company uses AI in survey design and analysis, alongside consumer panels and research expertise. Trinity College Dublin reports that Bounce has raised more than €6.5 million since 2019. Trinity Innovation profile.

10. Jentic — connecting AI agents to APIs

Jentic is building an integration layer that helps AI agents connect to software and APIs. The goal is to let agents interact with business systems through a more structured and governed layer. Jentic announced a €4 million pre-seed round in late 2024; later company materials describe approximately $4.5 million in pre-seed funding. Jentic press information.

What these companies reveal about Dublin's AI opportunity

This group points to three useful patterns. First, AI is being applied to work that already has a clear owner and measurable cost: security operations, fleet incidents, finance administration and consumer research. Second, the underlying infrastructure matters. Companies such as Bronto, TensorX and Jentic are working on the systems that help AI products operate, scale or connect to other software. Third, Irish-founded teams are tackling specialised areas, from satellite data to workplace safety, where domain knowledge is as important as model choice.

Funding totals attract attention, but they only tell one part of a company's story. A round can support hiring, product development or expansion; it does not by itself prove product-market fit or long-term success. For a clearer picture, look at what a company sells, who uses it, what problem it solves and how it is adapting its product as AI capabilities change.

A note on the funding figures

The figures in this article come from company announcements, published reporting and startup databases. Sources do not always use the same definition of total funding: some include debt or growth investment, while others show disclosed venture rounds only. Currency conversions can also change over time. We have therefore labelled the numbers as reported amounts, avoided presenting them as an exact league table and linked to available sources so readers can check the underlying context.
