That's what Ireland needs now, early-stage investment. We have a lot of large companies that are not going to raise funds but are growing to exit [either through flotation or trade sale] in the next 12-24 months.

We have a proven track record of building brands and growing businesses such as Mammoth into industry leading companies.

Investors clearly showed diversity in their portfolios in 2005. While information technology continued to receive the lion's share of investment at just under $12 billion, companies focused on health care, business, consumer and financial services, and alternative energy; advanced materials also gained in favor. Overall, the year's positive outcome--coupled with a dynamic acquisition market for venture-backed companies of late--indicates that venture-capital investors remain committed to funding entrepreneurial innovation in all its forms.
