Fund manager Atlantic Bridge has led a €2m funding round for Irish text analysis startup Aylien, alongside existing investors.

The GP led the funding round alongside two existing investors, business accelerator SOSV and government-backed holding Enterprise Ireland, which provided a €580,000 seed round for the business in March 2016.

At completion of the current transaction, Atlantic investment director Helen McBreen will join the company's board.
