Managers have been appointed to look after the new Enterprise Development Scheme - but should they have been from a Manx company?
SPARK Impact will run the 'accelerator and relocator' elements of the £50 million pot.
The purpose of the fund is to 'nurture local talent' and 'create more jobs on Island' however the decision was made early on to out-source some of the money management.
Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly says there are companies on Island who could have done the job but SPARK Impact had the 'skills':
