Founders under the wing of Entrepreneurial Spark, the world’s largest free accelerator for small businesses, have created more than 3,000 jobs. In its latest “Impact Report”, to be published this week, Entrepreneurial Spark will reveal that it has helped to create 3,152 jobs since its launch in 2012. The accelerator puts small businesses through their paces at a dozen hubs around the country, from Belfast to Brighton.
