Mobile sales and analytics firm Qstream, a spin-out of Harvard University, has announced plans to open its European headquarters in Dublin following completion of its €2.1m ($2.81m) series A.
The round was led by Ireland based tech fund Frontline Ventures and Boston-based Launchpad Venture Group.
Qstream, founded in 2008, was co-founded by University College Dublin graduate Duncan Lennox, who said that the availability of talent in Ireland had increased since he left to work in the US.
Lennox said: “We’re looking to hire rock-star engineers in Dublin. Now we’re seeing a vibrant start-up eco-system in Dublin like that in Silicon Valley and Boston. If the eco-system wasn’t there I justify coming back to my investors.”
