How does JumpStart decide which companies to invest in?
We start by looking at many companies and ideas. We review hundreds business plans each year. We select about 36 companies per year to proceed to our next step, a formal presentation to our Investment Panel. Based on a rigorous due diligence process, JumpStart will choose from this group ten to twelve companies per year in which to make direct investments. In sum, we attempt to invest in those Northeast Ohio start-up companies that have the most potential for success.
