JumpStart is service-oriented. All entrepreneurs who engage with our team can expect us to exhibit our operating style each and every day:
Operating Style
Challenging: We expect great things of you and will challenge you to exceed expectations.
Honest: We speak the truth, plain and simple. And we hope you will do the same with us.
Engaged: We respond rapidly to your inquiries, and we become involved and active in your business (yet will not run your business for you).
Resourceful: We will be creative in helping you to access relationships, contacts and other resources that will help your business succeed.
Insightful: We will do our best to be current on your industry and to offer you constructive advice, not reasons why you won't succeed.
Fun: We will maintain a sense of humor as we travel with you through entrepreneurship's hills and valleys.
Core Values
Accountability: Be accountable for outcomes and devise simple metrics that convey progress and outcomes of activity.
