A Tralee-based company, Donseed Ltd, is to invest €1.2m to accelerate international growth, creating 26 new high-value positions at the company over the next two years.

This expansion plan will lead to the creation of an additional 26 jobs over the next two years, primarily at our headquarters at Kerry Technology Park, Tralee.
“Our investment is enabled through the support of Enterprise Ireland and a €500,000 venture capital funding from the AIB Seed Capital Fund. This fund is co-managed by Enterprise Equity. This is the first investment by the AIB Seed Capital Fund,” he added.
The company provides web-based workplace management solutions to the construction, retail and energy sectors.
Donseed’s solutions enable customers to track real time attendance, eliminate time leakage, reduce costs by reducing administration, track health and safety compliance and enable the contract teams to share project information in a secure environment.
The company is working with construction companies in over 100 sites across Ireland and the UK.
