For our latest Proptech Ireland/iPropertyRadio Summer Series we travel to Dingle to meet with Standard Access CEO Damien Browne and we are joined remotely by the software lead of the technical team, Mihai Penica.
Standard Access is a smart building access provider and AI (artificial intelligence) innovator, specialist in the critical area of secure data transmission for real estate. Damien and Mihai talk us through the origins of the business, the many awards and accolades amassed over the past few years, the evolution of their technology and the recent rush to roll out pandemic-response tools like GDPR complaint indoor and outdoor head-counting through existing CCTV systems, and a levelling up of touchless or contactless building access.
Damien also discusses the funding ecosystem for ventures in Ireland and talks about how a feature about their most recent fundraising efforts (€4.5 million) in an Irish newspaper, the Sunday Independent, attracted the attention of a US investor!
