Partner & CTO, BlueYard Capital
Ciaran O'Leary is the son of former IDA Ireland chief Barry O'Leary, giving him an unusually deep family-level perspective on how global tech and foreign direct investment decisions get made, which informs his approach to European startup ecosystems. He has organized BlueYard's investment thesis around three specific fundamental forces—decentralisation of markets, democratisation of capabilities, and liberation of data—for nearly a decade, backing technically ambitious infrastructure companies like Protocol Labs/Filecoin, Meatable, and Bit Bio rather than incremental software plays.
