NETWORK ADVISORS & ECONOMIC INCLUSION:THIS PROGRAM IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENTOF THE ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDES THE INITIAL CONTACT AND IMPETUS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEED IDEAS. THESE INDIVIDUALS PROVIDE EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TO INDIVIDUALS CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF SMALL BUSINESSES IN NORTHERN OHIO FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENCOURAGING THE INITIATION, EXPANSION, GROWTH, AND MATURATION OF BOTH NEW AND EXISTING SMALL BUSINESS WHICH CAN PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND THEREBY AID IN ALLEVIATING UNEMPLOYMENT, COMMUNITY DETERIORATION AND ECONOMIC DISTRESS IN NORTHERN OHIO AND ENHANCING THE ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION OF THE AREA. NETWORK ADVISORS COMPRISE THE PROGRAM THAT CONCENTRATES ON ASSISTING TECHNOLOGY BASED NASCENT COMPANIES AND SMALL BUSINESSES WITH GROWTH INTEREST AND POTENTIAL. JUMPSTART'S STAFF, MENTORS AND NETWORK OF ADVISORS GUIDE NORTHERN OHIO'S HIGH POTENTIAL ENTREPRENEURS, ASSISTING FOUNDERS IN CREATING AND ARTICULATING HIGH GROWTH STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL PLANS, ACCESSING INVESTMENT FUNDS AND MOVING THEIR BUSINESSES TOWARD KEY MILESTONES. NETWORK ADVISORS, MENTORS AND ENTREPRENEURS-IN-RESIDENCE ARE SUCCESSFUL SERIAL ENTREPRENEURS, SEASONED INVESTORS, INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND/OR FORMER CEOS, WITH SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE. JUMPSTART'S ADVISORS HAVE A SPECIAL FOCUS ON SUPPORTING WOMEN AND MINORITY ENTREPRENEURS WORKING IN THE HIGHEST GROWTH INDUSTRIES. THE OVERALL ADVISORY PROGRAM IS A VITAL ASPECT IN THE GOAL HELPING TO REVITALIZE THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF NORTHERN OHIO. JUMPSTART BELIEVES THAT THE AVAILABILITY OF EXPERIENCED ENTREPRENEURS, INVESTORS, INDUSTRY LEADERS AND EXECUTIVES TO STARTUP COMPANIES IS CRITICAL TO SUCCESS. GUIDANCE OF EARLY-STAGE ENTREPRENEURIAL ENDEAVORS PROVIDES INSIGHT, KNOWLEDGE AND GENERALLY BROADENS THE VISION OF THE ENTREPRENEUR.

WE BELIEVE IN ACCELERATING THE GROWTH OF BLACK, LATINO AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES BECAUSE IT IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF BUILDING AND SUSTAINING A HEALTHY ECONOMY. THESE FIRMS HOLD GREAT PROMISE FOR THE REGION, AS STATISTICALLY, MINORITY BUSINESSES TEND TO HIRE MINORITY WORKERS AT MORE THAN TWICE THE RATE OF NON-MINORITY FIRMS. THE CHALLENGE, HOWEVER, IS TO GROW THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT CAN EMPLOY MUCH LARGER NUMBERS. THERE IS A CRITICAL GAP IN FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR EARLY-STAGE, MINORITY-OWNED, HIGH POTENTIAL BUSINESSES THAT COULD BECOME LARGE COMPANIES WHICH CREATE JOBS, WEALTH AND PROSPERITY. THROUGH ECONOMIC INCLUSION INITIATIVES, JUMPSTART PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TAILORED TO THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THESE HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES TO GUIDE HIGH IMPACT MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES SEEKING TO RAISE CAPITAL FROM PRIVATE INVESTORS IN ORDER TO BECOME LARGER SCALE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL FIRMS.

JUMPSTART EMBEDS ITS ECONOMIC INCLUSION PROGRAMMING ACROSS ALL OF ITS ACTIVITIES. SPECIFIC EXAMPLES INCLUDE:1) THE JUMPSTART FOCUS FUND, A $10 MILLION VENTURE CAPTIAL FUND SPECIFICALLY DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING FEMALE AND/OR MINORITY LED STARTUPS ACROSS OHIO.2) THE SMALL BUSINESS IMPACT PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES A DIVERSE GROUP OF TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WITH ONE-ON-ONE BUSINESS ASSISTANCE, GRANT CAPITAL AND CONNECTIONS TO VALUABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCES.3) PITCH CYPHER, A PITCH EVENT CONNECTING EARLY-STAGE TECH FOUNDERS-OF-COLOR WITH CRITICAL RESOURCES INCLUDING CAPITAL AND HIGH IMPACT TECHNICAL SERVICES.
