How many jobs did Start-Up NY create?

New York Mayor Andrew Cuomo’s senior economic aide told a reporter that the initiative, which had aimed to create 2,000 jobs, created just 76. Investment numbers were also expected to reach much higher -- $91 million – but companies raised just $1.7 million in investment. Inflating the role of technology programs is a tradition in New York, which Mayor Michael Bloomberg also participated in, The Verge reported.
