Programmed for Growth
All businesses are different, but many must overcome the same obstacles to grow and prosper.
That’s why JumpStart has developed several structured programs designed to help all types of entrepreneurs and small business owners. No matter what kind of business you’re running, we can help you access the knowledge and resources you need to make it stronger and better.
Small Business Impact Program
Held in both Cleveland and Northwest Ohio, this intensive 12-week business assistance program is designed to provide focused business advising, industry-specific mentoring and collaborative learning. Each cohort works intensively on various key business issues, with significant emphasis on financial projections and capital pitches.
The Impact Program then culminates in a demo day-style competition where the entire cohort will pitch to a panel of judges for a chance to take home up to $10,000 to grow their businesses.
