About

Eoghan McCabe co-founded Intercom in Dublin in 2011 with three friends, funded by selling his previous startup Exceptional to Rackspace. He stepped back as CEO in 2020, returned in October 2022 just as ChatGPT landed, and bet the company on an AI agent — cannibalising its own SaaS model, renaming the entire company Fin in 2026, and reaching $400 million of recurring revenue. In June 2026 Salesforce agreed to buy it for about $3.6 billion, the largest technology sale in Irish history. His summary: four young lads with a dream and nothing to lose.

Beyond investing

Founded: Co-founded Intercom in 2011 with Des Traynor, Ciaran Lee and David Barrett; proceeds from selling Exceptional to Rackspace that year funded the launch.
Education: Studied computer science at Trinity College Dublin, and ran his own development shop before co-founding the design agency Contrast.
Hobbies: Has attended Burning Man annually since 2014; describes himself as a shy kid drawn to art and science, and now lives back in Dublin.
More: Stepped back as CEO in 2020 after a neurological autoimmune diagnosis, and returned at the end of 2022 — timing that coincided with ChatGPT and the company's AI pivot. Renamed the whole company Fin in May 2026 after its AI agent, then signed a roughly $3.6bn sale to Salesforce in June — Ireland's largest technology deal.
