Alliance Startup Fund

The Alliance Startup Fund supports entrepreneurs interested in growing their big ideas into big companies in the City of Alliance by offering payment-deferred, low interest loans of up to $35,000. This fund was developed by the City of Alliance in collaboration with JumpStart Inc. and with the support of TA2, the University of Mount Union and Alliance Area Development.

The program is targeted to early stage tech-based businesses that have the potential to go on to raise additional capital, generate significant revenue and create jobs in the region. Interested entrepreneurs can apply to be considered for this attractive loan that can be used to make their company more attractive to pre-seed investors and bring their technology to market.

Successful loan applicants also receive free business counseling and potential connections to other resources in the region through the JumpStart Entrepreneurial Network.
