Blueprints was founded by former University of Limerick students Ryan Morrissey and Bence Redmond after they met in UL’s immersive software engineering programme. The company operates a prediction-market style platform where users predict future events and the system decides when to buy or sell assets such as company shares based on those forecasts. The idea developed during Morrissey’s internship at Stripe and the founders have since left UL to work on Blueprints full-time following investment. Blueprints received six-figure funding from NDRC and additional investment from Y Combinator. The articles do not provide revenue, user, or valuation figures.

Founded in 2024, DevAlly combines accessibility experts with proprietary AI and large language models to automate the detection of barriers such as missing video captions, insufficient color contrast, and inadequate screen-reader support across websites, e-commerce platforms, and banking apps. The software also logs customer-reported issues, generates remediation roadmaps, and produces compliance reports, embedding accessibility checks into the product-development lifecycle. By focusing on scalability, the startup aims to replace one-off human audits with continuous monitoring, a strategy its CEO compares to cybersecurity company Vanta’s compliance approach. Regulatory pressure from the European Accessibility Act has driven early demand, and the founders report strong interest from large B2B software companies on the U.S. West Coast. With its recent funding, DevAlly will expand its headcount from 5 to 15, primarily in Dublin, while opening a sales presence in San Francisco to act as “a bridge to Europe” for U.S. firms. The company positions universal design as a market imperative, citing studies that 94% of top U.S. websites fail basic accessibility tests and that disabled consumers represent $8 trillion in annual disposable income. Though revenue figures were not disclosed, the startup’s traction in both Europe and the U.S. underscores the growing importance of accessibility compliance.
