Baseline is an independent community and workspace for early-stage founders who are building breakout and break-through tech companies in Ireland. It's a space where founders can experiment, build velocity, and be plugged into a global network of like-minded founders.
We believe that:
Startups are a series of increasingly complex experiments.
There are no blueprints or playbooks, only iterations.
Breakthroughs come from shared learnings.
About
As a community of technical, creative, and commercial founders, we share the highs and lows of early stage startup building together.
We have high expectations of ourselves, and each other. If someone needs help, we step in and lend a hand, and we should expect the same in return.
Baseline is not operated as a programme, and does not provide mentors. We are not a shared office space, and we don't offer dedicated desks. Our members are self-directed, and value being part of a peer group of like-minded founders, executing with urgency.
community
We are a community first, workspace second. Baseline is located in the heart of Dublin's Liberties. Our space is comfortable, spacious and designed to be flexible for getting focused or team work done in a mix of open areas and private meeting rooms.
The space is fully air conditioned, with three aspects of daylight, a full kitchen, bike storage, and accessible facilities, including WC's & shower rooms.
We're a 24/7, always-on community, and so is the workspace. Members are able to come and go as they please, bring guests, and use the space to host their own events.
workspace
Over €1m in Deals & Discounts
Baseline members automatically get access to a growing catalog of deals, discounts, credits and special offers worth over €1m, from well known vendors of products / tools / platforms for sales, marketing, hiring, customer support, engineering and infrastructure.
Invite-only Events
Baseline hosts regular daytime and evening events for members, and invited guests. Our gatherings are designed to be a place to learn, talk through challenges, and build relationships with other Baseline members and world-class founders / investors visiting from other ecosystems.
Early-stage Startups Only
Baseline is designed solely for early stage founders, and people who are experimenting, creating, building, and embracing the risk that comes with that. We believe that founders who are pre-product to Series A benefit more from working along side each other than employees of large enterprises / multinational companies.

There's something about the energy, velocity, and a sense that anything can happen that you find at the earliest stage of turning an idea into something real, and it isn't always easy to find once companies become grown up, or an exit happens.
This level of membership is for founders of later stage companies, exited founders, and angel investors that want to get back in touch with that phase, and help guide a new generation of founders, and invest in their first round.
