In the words of the great Swedish philosophers Benny & Bjorn: Money money money is a major problem for Irish start-ups according to a new survey of them by Scale Ireland. Traditional banks won't lend to such high-risk entities and venture capitalists are in more of a Risk Off mood in this high inflation and high-interest rates environment.
