Stronger Together

The Northeast Ohio Startup Network is a collaborative effort by regional resource providers to connect tech entrepreneurs to the space, capital, advice, support and connections needed to grow their businesses.

JumpStart manages this closely connected network of support organizations, all of whom are funded in part by Ohio Third Frontier and organized under the Entrepreneurial Services Provider (ESP) Program to support the 21 counties in the Northeast Ohio region.

This coalition of 10 Cleveland organizations was convened by the Greater Cleveland Partnership’s Commission on Economic Inclusion and JumpStart, with support from the Cleveland Foundation, PNC Bank, the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Burton D. Morgan Foundation and the Gund Foundation.

The overarching goal of the Business Growth Collaborative is to improve the level of coordination among available entrepreneurial resources by breaking down barriers to business growth opportunities for historically disadvantaged communities.
