Hoffmann-La Roche AG. That growth, together with TrademarkNow's Series A funding of $3.5 million, led by Balderton Capital, one of the largest venture capital firms in Europe, drove the company's expansion and the need for additional offices and personnel. Afterevaluating several Irish cities, TrademarkNow chose Kilkenny, known as "The Friendliest City in Europe," as the location for their new office, which will house their business development, sales and account management teams. The Kilkenny Chamber of Commerce and Local Enterprise Office (LEO) worked hand-in-hand with TrademarkNow to evaluate the location and ensure a smooth and successful opening of the new Kilkenny office. "TrademarkNow is a great example of the type of company that we believe will be the future of Kilkenny's information management workforce," said John Hurley, CEO of the Kilkenny Chamber of Commerce.
