Timbi Joins New Frontiers by Enterprise Ireland

We’re proud to share that Timbi has been selected for the New Frontiers Programme, a flagship initiative by Enterprise Ireland designed to support early-stage founders in building scalable, innovation-driven companies.

For us, this recognition isn’t just a milestone; it’s validation of our mission to make EU funding more accessible, ethical, and human-centric.

What Is the New Frontiers Programme?

Run by Technological University Dublin, New Frontiers is Enterprise Ireland’s flagship startup programme. It supports early-stage entrepreneurs in validating ideas, building business plans, and preparing for scaling or investment.

The programme is structured in three stages:

• Phase 1: Market research, early validation, business model shaping

• Phase 2: 6-month intensive accelerator with a €15,000 equity-free stipend, workshops, mentoring, and structured business support

• Phase 3: Follow-on growth support, grant pathways, with a €7,500 equity-free stipend and connection to Enterprise Ireland’s PSSF (Pre-Seed Start-Up Fund) and later the HPSU (High Potential Start-Up) pipeline.

Each phase becomes more selective, focusing on entrepreneurs with a validated idea and a strong trajectory toward international markets.

Why It Matters for Timbi

Progressing through all three phases shows strong validation for our team, mission, and solution. It’s helped us sharpen our focus on building a scalable, impact-driven company that’s not only technically solid, but mission-aligned.

Here’s what we gained from New Frontiers:

• Equity-free support to develop our platform and build early traction

• Strategic mentoring from industry leaders in innovation, policy, and product development

• Hands-on workshops in fundraising, market strategy, and legal frameworks

• A national founder community with real collaboration and network opportunities

• Enterprise Ireland visibility, paving the way for future supports and international scaling

What Timbi Is Building

At Timbi, we create ethical AI-driven tools that help researchers, startups, and institutions navigate complex EU funding systems. Our platform simplifies the journey from call discovery to application, budgeting, reporting, and dissemination, blending automation with human expertise.

We believe bureaucracy shouldn’t block bold ideas and we’re building tools that empower changemakers to focus on impact, not red tape.

What’s Next

With New Frontiers behind us, we’re entering the next growth phase: expanding our platform, testing pilot projects, and collaborating with institutions across Europe.

We’re deeply grateful to Enterprise Ireland, the TU Dublin New Frontiers team, and the mentors who’ve supported us throughout this journey.

This is just the beginning.
