NovaUCD welcomes four new start-ups
22.04.2010
Four new start-ups have set up at the tech-transfer centre NovaUCD since January 2010. These start-ups include Cernam, LogScreen, SmartBuilder Software and Tethras.
Tethras, established earlier this year by Brian Farrell and Brendan Clavin, is developing web-based localisation tools for smartphone-application developers. Already, the company is employing seven people.
Latest company start-ups
Welcoming the latest company recruits to NovaUCD, Dr Pat Frain, director, NovaUCD, said: “These companies are developing innovative products and services and they bring unique expertise and experience to NovaUCD which will make a significant contribution to our community of entrepreneurs.”
Cernam, established in 2008, is a specialist digital-investigations company focusing on online investigations. Originally based in NovaUCD’s desk space before moving into an incubation unit, Cernam was founded by Owen O’Connor and is developing solutions for forensically sound online evidence capture and analysis, as well as providing training and consultancy services for a range of clients.
LogScreen, established in 2009 by Karl Schäckermann and Matthias Jacobs, is a managed security solutions provider that supplies event or activity log management services to SMEs on the basis of business-process outsourcing.
Established in 2009 by Richard Mulcahy and Peter Daly, SmartBuilder Software is developing mobile software for use on building and engineering sites and will introduce its first product to market later this year. Daly is also one of the co-founders of Cleantech Ireland, a networking organisation for those involved in the development of Ireland's clean-tech industries.
Start-ups in the pre-incorporation stage
An additional eight entrepreneurs are also based in NovaUCD’s desk-space facility, which is available to individuals involved in the design of new ventures generally at the pre-incorporation stage of their development.
One of the early stage ventures located in NovaUCD’s desk-space facility is Restored Hearing. A new web-based venture, Restored Hearing offers unique, tailored minute-long therapy sessions for individuals who suffer from temporary tinnitus.
