The verdict in three sentences
A venture capital firm's website in Dublin serves two audiences at once: founders looking for an investor, and LPs checking the team's credibility, without the site promoting performance. Dublin agencies charge roughly EUR 10,000 to 25,000 for this kind of project in 2026, against a Kolonell fixed grid of EUR 2,700 (Starter), EUR 4,500 (Growth) or EUR 8,200 (Premium). The difference lies mainly in design, because photography, compliance review and maintenance cost much the same everywhere.
Two audiences, two readings of the same site
A founder in Irish fintech or medtech types "seed investor Ireland medtech", "Series A VC Dublin cheque size" or "how to pitch [fund name]". They want to know within two minutes whether their company fits your thesis. An LP, a family office or a manager selection consultant usually arrives through your name or a partner's, looking for team stability and a coherent strategy.
| Visitor | What they look for | Page that answers | Watch point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-seed or seed founder | Stage, sectors, typical cheque | Investment thesis | Cheque shown as a range, not a promise |
| Series A founder | Lead partner, value added after investment | Team and portfolio support | No superlatives about partners |
| Founder preparing a raise | How to submit, response time | Pitch form | Data minimisation, clear consent |
| LP or family office | Team, governance, approach to risk | About, governance | No performance data publicly available |
| Consultant or bank | Contacts, legal structure, notices | Legal notices, contact | Exact, current regulatory status |
| Candidate | Culture, open roles | Careers | Dated job posts |
Investor communication is regulated: under most European frameworks, fund marketing is restricted to professional or qualified investors, and a regulated manager falls under the Central Bank of Ireland. On data, the GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Data Protection Commission apply to your pitch form. The European Accessibility Act also raises expectations on digital accessibility. Have the scope checked by your counsel. This is not legal advice.
Dublin prices against the Kolonell grid
Local figures are a 2026 ballpark drawn from typical agency quotes and public rate pages, excluding VAT.
| Provider | Range | Usual timeline | What is often missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dublin freelancer | EUR 3,500 to 9,000 | 4 to 8 weeks | Thesis copywriting, project management |
| Local agency | EUR 10,000 to 25,000 | 8 to 14 weeks | Copywriting often billed separately |
| Premium brand studio | EUR 30,000 to 70,000 | 3 to 6 months | Little is missing, but the budget is high |
| Kolonell Starter, EUR 2,700 | Fixed price | 3 to 4 weeks | Detailed portfolio pages |
| Kolonell Growth, EUR 4,500 | Fixed price | 3 to 4 weeks | Gated LP area (on quote) |
| Kolonell Premium, EUR 8,200 | Fixed price | 4 to 6 weeks | Languages set in the quote, multilingual tier |
Every tier includes a project manager reachable in your time zone, native English or French copywriting and 3 months of support. For an English-speaking fund, Growth is usually enough: thesis by sector, portfolio profiles, team, pitch form. A gated LP area, a connection to a deal flow tool or a reporting portal are priced on quote. Everything is detailed in the international offer.
What quotes leave out: three-year cost
| Item over 36 months | Dublin agency | Kolonell Growth | Nature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | EUR 17,500 | EUR 4,500 | Mid range / fixed price |
| Partner and team portraits | EUR 1,200 | EUR 1,200 | Market assumption |
| Compliance review of copy | EUR 1,500 | EUR 1,500 | Market assumption |
| Deal flow tool integration | Variable | On quote | Depends on the tool |
| Maintenance, 33 months at EUR 180 | EUR 5,940 | EUR 5,940 | Market assumption, Kolonell on quote |
| Estimated total | EUR 26,140 | EUR 13,140 | Excluding integration |
The EUR 13,000 gap comes from design. Factor in partner time as well: reviewing the thesis and clearing each portfolio profile with founders often takes longer than the build.
When is a local agency the right call?
It is justified if your fund is launching a whole brand (name, identity, site) and wants regular workshops in Dublin, if your investor base expects an interactive annual report, or if a secure LP portal must ship on day one. In those cases, proximity and a higher budget make sense.

Mini case study
Illustrative example. Liffey Bridge Ventures, a three-partner seed fund, receives a EUR 18,000 quote from a Dublin agency. It chooses Kolonell Growth at EUR 4,500, adds EUR 1,200 of photography (market assumption) and EUR 1,500 of compliance review (market assumption), for EUR 7,200 in total. The saving is 18,000 − 7,200 = EUR 10,800, which the fund puts into two years of content on its climate thesis.
FAQ
How much does a VC firm website cost in Dublin?
As a 2026 ballpark, EUR 10,000 to 25,000 at a local agency and EUR 30,000 or more at a brand studio. At Kolonell the grid runs from EUR 2,700 to EUR 8,200, with integrations and the LP area on quote.
Can we show fund performance on the site?
Most funds avoid any publicly available performance data, as marketing is restricted to qualified investors. That information goes through regulatory documents or a gated area, priced on quote.
What should the pitch form ask for?
Only what is needed: name, company, stage, sector, link to the deck. A 6-field form respects data minimisation far better than a 20-question survey.
How long does it take to launch?
Three to four weeks for Starter and Growth, four to six for Premium. Allow one to two weeks for portfolio profiles to be cleared.
Do we need an Irish or French version?
Rarely for a Dublin fund, as English serves most founders and LPs. If you also target continental Europe, the Premium tier at EUR 8,200 covers a multilingual version, with languages set in the quote.
Let's scope your project. A Growth site with thesis, portfolio and pitch form ships in three to four weeks. See the international offer or request a free quote: detailed reply within 48 hours.
