Venture capital funding has slumped in Ireland with a fall-off in major deals and seed funding, new figures show. This year has not seen the same number of headline-grabbing funding deals as 2017, with the exception of the €110m round landed by Dublin-based Intercom. But seed funding, which helps startups, has also fallen compared to last year. The reversal comes just as venture capital funding had exceeded €1bn in Ireland for the first time.
