Jumpstart Foundry seeks to aid the growth of fledgling tech-oriented businesses in the Southeast by focusing on three key areas: The Foundry, Fund and Future.

Started as a seed-stage microfund in 2010, the newest iteration of JSF orbits around a formal, mentor-driven 14-week business incubation program — titled "The Foundry" — with the goal of launching six successful companies, prime for funding, by the middle of August 2011. The application process for companies interested in participating in The Foundry in 2011 will began in mid-January and will run until March 18.

Those startup companies — keying on the areas of healthcare IT, data systems and social engagement tools — will derive resources and guidance from a hand-selected group of mentors who bring a wealth of experience from a variety of fields.

Additionally, Jumpstart Foundry will help grow Middle Tennessee's tech and investment communities — focusing on "The Future" — by offering a series of training courses and seminars, called Jumpstart Fundamentals, geared toward expanding those communities' understanding and interaction.

As for "The Fund," the efforts Jumpstart Foundry are funded by Solidus-TNinvestco and the JSF Angels, a vibrant collection of active investors from across the country. Jumpstart Foundry also enjoys key partnerships with the Nashville Entrepreneur Center.
