We've Been Accepted onto Enterprise Ireland's New Frontiers Programme

Today, we begin Phase 1 of New Frontiers, the national entrepreneur development programme funded by Enterprise Ireland and delivered by the Hartnett Enterprise Acceleration Centre at TUS Midwest in Limerick.

Following an interview on 27th March, we were offered a place on the five-week programme. We accepted, and we're excited to embark on this part of the journey. Cirrus Invicta is no longer just an idea; it is a nascent force taking root.

What New Frontiers is

New Frontiers is a three-phase national entrepreneur development programme funded by Enterprise Ireland, designed to take founders with internationally scalable ideas from early validation through to readiness for pre-seed funding.

Why we applied

We've spent significant time building the product and shaping the business proposition. But building a product and building a business are not the same thing. New Frontiers is designed to provide the structured environment and mentorship we need to close that gap.

What we expect to get out of it

We are not looking for validation of the idea itself. We have already spoken to enough MSPs and organisations to know the problem exists. What we want is rigour around the business model — the kind of structured thinking that turns a
strong technical foundation into something commercially viable and investable.

Five weeks is not long. But it is enough to challenge assumptions, refine how we talk about the problem, and build the discipline needed to move from early-stage to fundable.

What comes next

One of our founders will be participating in the programme over the coming weeks alongside our ongoing development work. We do not plan to slow down on the product side. If anything, the structure should help us focus.

We look forward to sharing more as the programme progresses.
