Nonprofit partnerships work to jumpstart economy

Ohioans' signature job-producing nonprofit — JumpStart, a 7-year-old organization that invests public and private funds in entrepreneurial startups — is "going national" with a new affiliate, JumpStart America, which aims to raise $2 billion in the next decade for investments in promising ventures across the country.

That effort, in turn, is working with the Obama administration's recently announced Startup America campaign, designed to celebrate, inspire and accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship nationwide. That campaign is working, in turn, with the new Startup America Partnership, an alliance of venture capitalists, angel investors, universities and CEOs.
