Five small businesses recently graduated from the Berks County Community Foundation’s Jump Start Incubator program. A small lunch and award ceremony was held to congratulate the small business owners.
Located on the third floor of the Berks County Community Foundation building, the Jump Start Incubator program provides supportive startup space and guidance to newly forming local businesses.
“It is very rewarding to see the progress these companies have made from the seed of an idea to a real productive company.” Said June Clougher, Director of the Jump Start Incubator.
“There are many things to learn when starting a company and often you don’t even know what questions to ask. The idea of an incubator is to get companies on solid footing by teaching the basic elements of running a business. With these 5 companies and many more, we have accomplished that feat. These graduates will make a difference in Berks County!”
