About Quick Start & The STEP Program

​The Quick Start & STEP programs were created to help Irish Startups evaluate their business ideas quickly – we provide an independent evaluation of your idea from experienced entrepreneurs and business advisors. After Quick Start you can access the STEP program where we will work with you to bring your Startup to life..

​Quick Start.

The aim of Quick Start is to establish, through a face to face exacting discussion with one of our independent professionals, the parameters and the viability of the business opportunity.

The discussion will cover, among other elements, the product or service you will provide, the market and its characteristics, proposed pricing and costs, scalability and funding requirements and will identify issues you will face if you go forward.

You will receive a written report covering our assessment of the opportunity you have identified. This report will enable you to make the key decision as to whether to move to the next stage and commit further time and financial resources.
