Research: Entrepreneurial Spark


After meeting up with SIE representative Dawn Shand, I decided to do a bit of research into the company 'Entrepreneurial Spark' as I was told by Dawn that their business/design aim is relevant to that of my personal project.
The company claim that they are ''a not-for-profit social enterprise engine that is geared to drive entrepreneurial mindsets and behaviours in and from Scotland.''
They claim to do the following:
  • Provide free business start-up space and facilities
  • Tailor Entrepreneurial Mentoring to your needs and skillsets
  • Encourage collaborative and cooperative working
  • Ensure you have comfortable Meeting Rooms
  • Get you and your venture on the right track - at a pace that suits you
In visiting their website I was able to understand that the company seem to ''help with strategic planning to build companies that are sustainable, potentially scalable and have a corporate social element as part of their DNA.''
The company believe that they can find some great people who can make a difference in business because they know that people are and always will be the driving force of a community.  They have taken the initiative to ''find and enable people that want to do -rather than just think.''
The company/business seem to be dedicated into helping others, if they believe in them.
The company represent energy and forward motion. The website states the following: ''We want to accelerate a mass start-up community in and from Scotland.''
It's evident that the company have real entrepreneurial drive -the perfect example of 'collaborative design space' for my design process.
