Why was ReaDI-Watch founded?

ReaDI-Watch was founded by Prof. Gerry Byrne, Dave Byrne and Aisling Kirwan in 2021. Their goal was to change the way companies invest in R&D and Innovation by democratizing a tried and tested approach and making it accessible to companies around the world. They aimed to help companies increase their return on R&D and Innovation investment, navigate the R&D tax credit and grant funding landscapes more easily, and unlock their full potential.

ReaDI-Watch drove its early success and took inspiration from GB Innovation, a successful consulting business founded by Prof. Byrne that assisted companies with R&D investments, team growth, R&D tax credits, and grant funding across Ireland, the UK and the EU.

Understanding that the business process of innovation and R&D needed a digital solution to provide companies with a framework for driving towards innovation success, Dave, Gerry & Aisling founded ReaDI-Watch.
