Economic Inclusion
At JumpStart, economic inclusion is at the core of how we do business. Great ideas are born every day and from all walks of life. Only a genuine commitment to economic inclusion will allow us to realize the rich diversity of talent and promise that exists throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.
In today’s global marketplace, an inclusive strategy that draws from the best and brightest minds throughout society is an essential component of success. A strategy born from diverse perspectives, backgrounds and experiences will be better equipped to respond to the unique challenges of our ever changing marketplace.
JumpStart's commitment to economic inclusion aims to create a level playing field for all entrepreneurial stakeholders. In the final analysis, this level playing field fosters healthy competition, which in turn elevates the performance of our entire region. As this happens in Northeast Ohio, we hope to create a model for economic inclusion that is ultimately replicated, and assists our nation in fielding the best players to most effectively compete in the global marketplace.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion extends to the clients we support, the employees we serve, and to the vendors with whom we conduct business. As we continue to identify, nurture and grow bright ideas from the fertile ground of Northeast Ohio, all who possess the courage and fortitude to pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions will be afforded equal access and consideration in the JumpStart Investment Process.
