The Jumpstart Refinery: A New Online Networking Community for Healthcare Founders and Entrepreneurs

At Jumpstart, we realize that too often, investors do little beyond providing capital to help founders succeed. Beyond capital, healthcare founders and other entrepreneurs need a network of like-minded professionals to help them grow their startups; as well as access to educational resources and job opportunities to help them grow in their careers.

We at Jumpstart recognize and believe that in order to truly drive innovation in health, we needed to provide a place where all healthcare professionals could gather virtually to collaborate and support one another. For this reason, we are excited to launch the Jumpstart Refinery – our new online healthcare networking community designed for all healthcare founders and entrepreneurs looking to expand their network, learn and grow with others passionate about driving innovation in health.

About the Jumpstart Refinery

The JS Refinery is an online healthcare community where healthcare founders and entrepreneurs can connect, grow and learn with others who are all looking to change the future of healthcare.

Through the Jumpstart Refinery, founders and entrepreneurs not only gain access to one of the most powerful healthcare networks in the world, but also startup educational resources, exclusive events and job opportunities that can help propel your career.

Why All Healthcare Entrepreneurs Should Join the Refinery

The Jumpstart Refinery was created for both our portfolio companies and other healthcare entrepreneurs looking to build impactful networks that can drive business growth. We have seen how powerful connections have benefited our portfolio companies over the last five years. We are excited to extend similar resources to other entrepreneurs who are seeking to create change with their innovative ideas in healthcare.
