The Next Step For Your Business

JumpStart’s signature Small Business Impact Program is an intensive 12-week group-based educational program that provides promising entrepreneurs with:

  • Focused business advising
  • Education on various essential business topics
  • Impactful tools and resources to help business owners pursue growth

The program places a special emphasis on financial projections and capital pitches, culminating in a pitch competition where participants will present to a panel of judges for a chance to take home up to $10,000.

The Impact Program takes place multiple times per year in two Northern Ohio locations.
