Enterprise Ireland is to host a new accelerator programme, JumpStart, to run in conjunction with its Competitive Start Fund call this month. The Competitive Start Fund is in its 12th call for applicants since launch in January 201. Some 170 businesses have received €50,000 in return for a 10 per cent ordinary equity stake. The fund helps start-up companies expand into overseas markets. John O’Dea, department manager of high potential start-ups at Enterprise Ireland, says most applicants tend to be operating in the digital, software and software services sectors.
