Congratulations to the graduates of the twelfth cohort of our Small Business Impact Program.<\/p>\n

This 12-week business accelerator program is designed to help individuals overcome the obstacles of entrepreneurship through hands-on advising and industry-specific mentoring. Over the course of the program, these entrepreneurs worked together alongside JumpStart\u2019s Impact Program team to tackle key business issues, with significant emphasis on financial projections and capital pitches.<\/p>\n

The program culminates in a demo day-style competition on September 8, 2021, where program participants pitch their business to a panel of judges. The grand prize pitch will take home $10,000, and each of the other participants will receive $2,500 to help them grow their businesses.<\/p>\n
