PARTNERSHIPS FUEL THE FUTURE Success depends on passionate partnerships

When local startups and small businesses succeed, entire communities benefit. We are honored to work on behalf of the government agencies, regional corporations, community leaders, family foundations and individual donors that believe in the power of entrepreneurship.

As a result of these dedicated organizations and generous contributions, we have helped thousands of determined entrepreneurs achieve success, enabling us to unlock economic transformation in our communities.

Our mission is resourced through a diversified funding model that includes public investment, charitable giving and financial returns made from JumpStart Ventures’ investments. The Ohio Third Frontier (OTF) has been a critical source of support for JumpStart, but each dollar from OTF must be matched with non-state cash funding.

This makes our partners, sponsors and donors vital to realizing our vision.
