Enterprise Ireland
“Enterprise Ireland is committed to increasing opportunities for women entrepreneurs and supporting them at every stage of their business journey. This includes working with colleagues and partners from across the ecosystem, to ensure we foster the skills, ambition, and talent, and ensure that Ireland is a great location to start and scale a business. That is why Enterprise Ireland is proud to continue our support for Going for Growth, a programme which supports women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and realise their growth ambitions.”
“Over the past 18 cycles, this initiative has demonstrated its impact in helping women-led businesses to increase revenue, create employment, and expand into new markets, and I would encourage all eligible entrepreneurs to apply and to engage with the peer support, expert guidance, and leadership offered through this unique programme.”

Manverton
“The collaborative peer-based approach, based on growth goals and shared experience, gives the type of support that ambitious entrepreneurs need. I only wish that I could have participated in Going for Growth when I was developing and growing SoftCo.
It is my pleasure to have been a voluntary Lead Entrepreneur on the initiative for over ten years, and to watch the peer support and the Going for Growth Community grow and strengthen over that time.” Susan Spence, Manverton
Over the last 10 years, Manverton has invested in the Equine industry including Breeding, Development, and Racing. The Manverton Foundation is also the charitable arm of the SoftCo co-founders and supports multiple initiatives, including the Injured Jockeys Fund, Shona, and Goal . Its multi-year support of Going for Growth is to enable the initiative to build on its achievements over many years and to look to the future in a sustainable and confident manner, so that Going for Growth can continue to support ambitious women entrepreneurs and owner managers into the future.
