Technology start-up incubator Blue Chilli is set for a global expansion, opening offices in the United States and Europe, as it looks to more than double the number of companies it invests in over the next two years.

The hub, which helps create and support the technology for entrepreneurs without technical knowledge, has begun hiring support staff in San Francisco and will open in New York in the coming months, with plans to expand to London and potentially Asia once it has proven the model outside of Australia.
