Otonomee listed among Ireland’s hottest start-ups for 2026

We are delighted to announce that Otonomee has been shortlisted as one of the 100 hottest start-ups to watch in 2026 by Think Business Ireland. This recognition highlights Otonomee’s continued momentum and growing presence within Ireland’s dynamic start-up ecosystem.

This latest acknowledgment builds on a strong year for Otonomee. We were named an emerging finalist in the prestigious EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards and ranked 10th in the Deloitte Fast 50 Technology Awards, underlining our sustained growth and performance. These achievements contributed to Otonomee being recognised by Think Business Ireland as a start-up to watch in the year ahead.

We are particularly proud to be included in this Top 100 list alongside other EY Entrepreneur of the Year programme companies and fellow B Corp organisations in Ireland, reflecting a shared commitment to responsible growth and long-term value creation.

Otonomee’s recognitions in 2026 are a testament to its ability to scale with purpose, innovate with intent, and create meaningful work for its people and partners. As the company continues to grow in a remote-first world, technology, culture, and strategic vision will remain central to its approach and future success.

About Otonomee

Otonomee is an award-winning Customer Management Outsourcing business delivering scalable, tech-driven, and people-focused solutions. Through our remote-first operating model, we help organisations optimise customer interactions, reduce costs, and increase efficiency, combining automation and data-driven insight with a strong human focus.

Founded in 2020 by Aidan and Hilary O’Shea, Otonomee was created to challenge the traditional “big city, big building” BPO model. Instead, we offer a nimble, bespoke service that isn’t limited by contact-centre capacity. Our flexible approach allows us to scale quickly, respond to seasonal or product-led demand, and support clients wherever their markets take them.

Otonomee is built to be better for people, partners, and the planet. We have been a certified B Corp since September 2023 and were recently recognised as an EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist. In just five years, we have grown to more than 600 employees, representing 54 nationalities across Europe, the United States, and Asia.
