Mindflair (MFAI) has announced that its investee company Disseqt AI has been selected to participate in an Enterprise Ireland accelerator programme led by US venture capital firm 500 Global.
Disseqt AI is one of eight Irish technology companies chosen for the programme, alongside DevAlly, Hari, Imvizar, Jarvio, Paygentic, Talio and Veloz.
The initiative is designed to connect Irish startups with US market expertise, with a focus on go-to-market strategy, investor readiness and validating demand in the United States. Participants are currently undertaking a four-week virtual phase before travelling to Palo Alto for two weeks of in-person sessions.
The programme will culminate in a showcase event on 14 May 2026, alongside investor meetings and partner events with Intercom and Carta. 500 Global aims to test each company’s scalability against Silicon Valley expectations and refine their global value propositions.
Mindflair has built a portfolio of about 30 Artificial Intelligence-focused companies and continues to support investee businesses as they expand internationally.
Mindflair’s Director Nicholas Lee said: “We are pleased to see Disseqt AI selected for the Enterprise Ireland programme with 500 Global. We believe that this is a powerful endorsement of the company's potential and an important opportunity for it to refine its product, validate US market demand and support its international growth ambitions.”

Selection into a 500 Global-backed programme provides external validation for Disseqt AI and, by extension, Mindflair’s portfolio strategy. While early-stage in nature, access to US investors and market insight could help accelerate commercial traction if the company successfully converts exposure into partnerships or funding.
