HBAN Medtech Syndicate

The HBAN Medtech Syndicate is Ireland’s premier specialized angel group, operating under the Halo Business Angel Network and entirely dedicated to funding disruptive medical technology breakthroughs. Headquartered in Dublin, the syndicate pools experienced medtech operators, clinicians, and former founders to back early-stage devices, diagnostics, and biotech-adjacent platforms emerging from Irish universities, hospitals, and research institutes. The group plays a foundational role in the Irish medtech funding stack, often providing the first institutional-quality check before Enterprise Ireland or VC participation.

The syndicate writes Seed-stage checks in the $250k to $1M range, typically as part of a broader round that includes Enterprise Ireland matched funding and other angel groups. Geographic focus is Ireland-first, with most deals coming from the Galway and Dublin medtech corridors, though cross-border opportunities with Northern Ireland are considered.

Founders should engage through HBAN’s structured pitch process and arrive with regulatory clarity, prototype evidence, and a defined clinical use case. Members value technical depth, so expect rigorous diligence from clinician and engineer angels. A clear plan to leverage Enterprise Ireland co-funding is effectively table stakes when pitching here.
