Chirp, an Irish deep-tech startup, is launching a €5 million funding round to expand its AI-powered child protection software that detects and blocks cyberbullying, grooming, and self-harm content on smartphones, even within encrypted messaging apps. The embedded technology operates beneath the phone's operating system, making it tamper-resistant and privacy-preserving. Chirp has already secured commitments for over 500,000 enabled devices across multiple countries and has garnered international recognition, including an invitation to the UN AI for Good Summit. The company aims to make child protection software a standard feature on smartphones globally, with a commercial rollout planned for 2026. The funding round is open to both institutional and retail investors in Ireland and is supported by influential backers including Pinterest co-founder Evan Sharp.
