UK-based start-up organisations University Alliance and National Association of College & University Entrepreneurs (Nacue) have launched a joint project to promote graduate entrepreneurs.
Their project, Start-up: a story, launched at the UK’s Houses of Parliament (team, pictured) will have stories, tips and links to resources, to try and inspire more student and graduate entrepreneurs to start-up.
Nacue has 130 enterprise societies in universities and colleges, up from 12 in 2009 a year after its launch.
Turnover from graduate start-ups in the UK has doubled from 2008 to 2010 to more than £270m ($400m) per year, with turnover from University Alliance start-ups accounting for more than half of the total.
