Tines
Tines is a Dublin-founded enterprise software company building workflow automation for security, IT, and operations teams. The product became well known in cybersecurity because it gives frontline analysts a low-code way to automate repetitive response tasks without needing to maintain brittle custom scripts. Teams can connect alerts, ticketing tools, identity systems, cloud platforms, and communication apps into visual workflows that investigate incidents, enrich context, trigger approvals, and execute remediation steps automatically. That lowers manual workload while preserving auditability and human control over higher-risk actions. Over time, Tines has expanded beyond pure security orchestration into broader internal operations, making the platform useful anywhere a company needs reliable API-based workflow execution across multiple tools. Its traction reflects a larger shift in enterprise software toward operator-owned automation rather than centralized engineering bottlenecks. In the European ecosystem, Tines is also a strong example of an Irish infrastructure startup that scaled into a global category while staying connected to the region's talent and capital networks.

Wayflyer
Wayflyer is a Dublin-based revenue-based financing platform that provides non-dilutive working capital to e-commerce and consumer brands, using their store, payments, and marketing data to underwrite advances in days rather than weeks. Founded in 2019 by Aidan Corbett and Jack Pierse, the company became one of the fastest Irish startups ever to reach unicorn status after raising a Series B at a USD 1.6 billion valuation in 2022, off the back of explosive demand from DTC brands that needed alternatives to equity and bank debt during the post-pandemic inventory crunch. Wayflyer's technical edge is its underwriting model, which ingests Shopify, Amazon, Facebook Ads, and bank data to produce forward revenue forecasts and risk-adjusted offers, and it has expanded from pure cash advances into a broader financial-operations product for e-commerce merchants. In the European ecosystem it is the clearest example of fintech built specifically around the growth capital needs of modern digital brands.
