Two Irish Startups Win Y Combinator | Dublin News

Two Irish startups just snagged a coveted spot in Y-Combinator, Silicon Valley’s elite accelerator, landing $500K and mentorship that could launch them into global dominance. ProvenMetal, founded by Trinity engineering students, is tackling the US PCB supply chain crisis by bringing manufacturing back home — after a wild last-minute pivot and a bold flight to SF for their second interview. Their ambition? To build Ireland’s next Stripe. And they’re not alone — their fellow Irish cohort knows them from Dogpatch Labs and will be in the same YC group. This isn’t just luck — it’s hustle, vision, and the kind of opportunity that turns startups into legends.
