David Richards has set up a new venture in Yorkshire to train developers, generate jobs and invest in start-ups.
The co-founder, CEO and Chairman of WANdisco has established EyUp to offer opportunities to people from disadvantaged backgrounds or who are under-represented in the tech sector.
“Local and global economies are crying out for people with the right skills – latest annual figures show more than 150,000 digital tech job openings in Yorkshire and 4,400 in Sheffield,” he explained.
“EyUp will teach people to code, help them find jobs as developers, nurture new start-ups and contribute to social and economic wellbeing.

The Yorkshire venture will have three strands to it. EyUp Skills will run a 16-week full-time course in partnership with the coding bootcamp iO Academy.

EyUp Ventures will provide start-up capital, investment knowledge and operating experience to new companies in Northern England.
Mr Richards said: “Education should be the foundation of regeneration and EyUp will help individuals realise their potential and spread success across our communities.
