Website-building platform Squarespace is to invest a further €70 million in Ireland to support its global expansion and product development.
The investment, which is being supported by IDA Ireland, will fund key research and development initiatives to underpin future evolution of Squarespace’s platform, putting Ireland in a key strategic role for its global growth.
It builds on 120 jobs announced by the company in 2025. The company, which has a base in Dublin, first opened in Ireland in 2013.
“Ireland has played an important role in Squarespace’s growth for more than a decade, and this €70 million investment reflects our continued confidence in Ireland as a strategic location for our business,” said Colm MacCarvill, head of Squarespace Ireland. “As we look to the next generation of Squarespace, we’re combining our strength in design with AI-powered technology and new commerce capabilities to make it even easier for entrepreneurs to start, manage and grow their businesses.
