We define a High Potential Start-Up (HPSU) as a business that is:

• Manufacturing an export focused product or offering an internationally tradable service;
• Based on a technical advantage or a pioneering or innovative idea;
• Likely to realise annual sales of €1m and employ 10 or more within three years of start-up; and
• Headquartered or controlled in Ireland.

Also ask yourself:

• Can I demonstrate an international market for my product or service?
• Will my venture make use of a new technology, innovation or a pioneering idea?
• Do I have a manager, academic or entrepreneur on board who is experienced in the sector the idea applies to?
