Intercom
Intercom is the Dublin-founded customer-messaging and support platform that effectively invented the in-app chat widget category in the early 2010s and has since evolved into one of the most widely deployed AI customer-service products in B2B SaaS. The company was started in 2011 by four Trinity College Dublin graduates — Eoghan McCabe, Des Traynor, Ciaran Lee, and David Barrett — who combined messaging, user segmentation, and lifecycle marketing into a single pane of glass at a time when enterprise support software was still dominated by ticket queues. Intercom's current product centers on Fin, its LLM-backed support agent that answers customer questions autonomously against a company's knowledge base, and it has become one of the clearest commercial examples of a pre-AI SaaS incumbent successfully retooling its core product around generative AI. The company is now headquartered in San Francisco but maintains a very large Dublin engineering and product office, and together with Stripe it is one of the canonical 'Irish mafia' software stories.

LetsGetChecked
LetsGetChecked is a Dublin-founded at-home diagnostics and virtual care company that ships regulated lab tests directly to consumers, processes samples through its own CLIA-certified laboratories, and wraps the results in physician review, prescribing, and follow-up care where appropriate. Founded in 2015 by Peter Foley, the company rode the pandemic-era shift toward home testing to a USD 1 billion Series D in 2021 and has since positioned itself as a full virtual-care platform covering sexual health, men's and women's health, wellness, colorectal screening, and medication adherence, selling both direct-to-consumer and as a corporate health benefit. It is one of the few European health-tech unicorns to successfully run end-to-end clinical infrastructure — labs, logistics, telehealth, and pharmacy — in the US market, and together with Kerecis and Sidekick Health it rounds out the directory's picture of how Irish and Icelandic health companies are building internationally regulated care businesses.
