JumpStart, a leading entrepreneurial support organization, is excited to announce its upcoming move to the Midtown Collaboration Center in Cleveland’s historic Hough neighborhood. In partnership with the Cleveland Foundation and MidTown Cleveland, JumpStart will co-locate with innovation and research organizations, including Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, the Cleveland Institute of Art, and other prominent institutions.

The Midtown Collaboration Center, a 95,000-square-foot building situated in Cleveland’s Health-Tech Corridor, is designed to foster collaboration among entrepreneurs, corporations, healthcare institutions and academic centers. JumpStart’s relocation to this strategic location aligns with its mission to drive inclusive economic growth, provide better access to resources for entrepreneurs and strengthen collaboration with key community and innovation partners.

“We are thrilled to move into the Midtown Collaboration Center, reinforcing our commitment to advancing entrepreneurship across Ohio,” said JumpStart CEO Julie Jacono. “This new space connects us to world-class institutions, business incubators and community organizations, placing JumpStart and its clients in a prime spot for collaboration and growth.”

JumpStart will leave its current location at 6701 Carnegie Avenue in November 2024 and complete its relocation to the Midtown Collaboration Center in early 2025. The new center, located at the corner of East 66th Street and Euclid Avenue, will offer a vibrant space for entrepreneurs and community organizations to collaborate and innovate.

With over 200 full-time jobs in the building, the center will drive employment opportunities and contribute to sustainable growth across Cleveland. JumpStart’s presence in the historic Hough neighborhood further strengthens its commitment to Cleveland’s rich cultural heritage and inclusive growth that benefits all residents.

This relocation is part of JumpStart’s long-term vision to help transform Cleveland into a national leader in entrepreneurship, tech and venture capital. JumpStart aims to create a thriving ecosystem that fosters economic prosperity for all by empowering startups and bridging access gaps in the innovation economy.
