Jumpstart Awards 2023
About Jumpstart
We believe that innovation does not matter unless it gets out there and changes the world. That’s why we make it our mission to ‘make innovation matter.’
From providing resources, support, and education to startup founders, industry leaders, and creative game-changers, to bringing together budding startups and corporates to facilitate collaboration and networking. Jumpstart has expanded into all avenues of the entrepreneurial ecosystem to provide a comprehensive suite of customized services to startups.
Why Participate
Jumpstart Awards offers businesses with a unique opportunity for branding that can bring both national and regional recognition. Since winners receive advertorial and advertising opportunities with Jumpstart media, they can utilize the chance to create meaningful conversations around their brand to attract new customers while retaining older ones. Moreover, winning a Jumpstart Award would organically create a buzz in the winners’ professional network, drawing attention to the brand and the individual winners’ achievements.
Besides, awards are a recognition of the hard work and effort of all employees, and winning a competition naturally motivates them to perform better. Additionally, the brand recognition that comes with Jumpstart Awards will help business and individual winners to further develop their reputation, while differentiating them from the competition.
