Timbi Joins NDRC Pre-Accelerator

We’re thrilled to announce that Timbi has been selected for the NDRC Pre-Accelerator, the highly competitive national programme run by Dogpatch Labs in partnership with Republic of Work, RDI Hub, and Portershed.

For us, this marks another step forward in building a product that blends ethical AI, expert knowledge, and human-centered design, making innovation funding more accessible across Europe.

What is the NDRC Pre-Accelerator?

The NDRC Pre-Accelerator is designed for early-stage startups building tech-driven solutions. It provides selected teams with:

• A highly structured curriculum across product, validation, and growth

• Expert mentors and founders-in-residence

• Access to Ireland’s top startup ecosystem and investor network

• Support to prepare for future investment-readiness and acceleration

Out of hundreds of applications nationwide, only a limited number of startups are selected for each cohort and Timbi is proud to be one of them.

Why It Matters for Timbi

Participating in the NDRC Pre-Accelerator means we get to:

• Sharpen our product-market fit with direct user feedback

• Refine our go-to-market strategy with industry mentors

• Strengthen our pitch and business model for future investment

• Expand our network in Ireland’s leading tech ecosystem

Most importantly, we’re working alongside brilliant startups all solving meaningful problems, and we’re grateful to be part of this mission-driven cohort.

What Timbi Is Building

At Timbi, we’re building AI-powered tools that help researchers, entrepreneurs, and public institutions navigate complex funding systems. We reduce the friction of bureaucracy by simplifying how users discover opportunities, collaborate with partners, and manage applications and reporting — all through ethical, secure, human-centered AI.

Being part of this pre-accelerator helps us test assumptions faster, build smarter, and stay closer to our users.

What’s Next

We’re entering this programme with big questions, bold ideas, and the commitment to make innovation more accessible, especially through European funding channels like Horizon Europe, EIC, and Erasmus+.

Thanks to the NDRC team for believing in our mission.
