Tim Sawyer, chief executive at the Start Up Loans Company, said: "The East End's famous entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well and it's great to see Hackney leading the wag in the capital's start up stakes.
"Great business ideas can start anywhere, on the tube, in the pub, or in the kitchen. It's a scary decision to take a chance on your business but it's a shame to let creative ideas go to waste."
