Recently, JumpStart revived business support operations in the greater Canton area. With funding from the Stark Community Foundation<\/a><\/strong> and the Stark Economic Development Board<\/a><\/strong>, JumpStart established a local entrepreneur-in-residence program and rebooted the Stark County Small Business Impact Program.<\/p>\n

Now in its third cohort, the Stark County Impact Program helps local entrepreneurs establish sustainable businesses in Northeast Ohio. For 12 weeks, small business owners receive hands-on education and industry-specific advising in a group learning environment.<\/p>\n

The program focuses on helping participants overcome key business issues, with a significant emphasis on financial projections, capital pitches and growth planning. At the end of the three months, the entrepreneurs take part in a live showcase event where they pitch their businesses to a panel of judges. The top pitch will earn a $10,000 grand prize, while all other participants will receive $2,500 to support their business growth.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re pleased to introduce the five members of cohort three \u2013 follow along to learn more about their stories as they work toward achieving their entrepreneurial goals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
