A £10m start-up accelerator, MassChallenge UK, is to launch in London to support “hundreds” of British entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses.

The UK programme intends to build on the success of the US MassChallenge accelerator in Boston, Massachusetts, which claims to be the world’s largest business accelerator with over $1m awarded to winning start-ups each year since it began in 2010.
