JumpStart works in conjunction with a wide variety of partner organizations in the region to ensure a wide variety of programs to meet the range of needs in the community.
If there was ever a doubt that entrepreneurialism is thriving in Northeast Ohio, the events calendar ends that doubt! Entrepreneurs have many opportunities for talking, sharing what they have learned, and engaging in the networking activities that reflect an active and dynamic entrepreneurial community. JumpStart fully supports the different types of event activity that encourage entrepreneurs, from social networking to intensive education, and a full variety of opportunities (many offered by JumpStart partners) are available on this site.
JumpStart’s premier addition to this thriving events calendar is the Growing Bright Ideas educational series. This series was created to allow entrepreneurs to increase their knowledge and expertise in topics important for accelerating the growth of an early-stage venture. It brings national entrepreneurial expertise to the region and focuses on topics such as capital formation, talent, organizational structure, and sales and marketing. We record many of these events and make them available as podcasts on our site.
