Cohort 2 – Fall 2019
Building networks that support early-stage entrepreneurs and accelerate existing neighborhood businesses through training and mentorships, connections to regional partnerships, job opportunities and increased access to financial resources.
COHORT 2
CONNECT ALL @ the Jacobs Center’s second cohort was made up of a dozen San Diego startups from the beverage industry to legal and healthcare technology to construction and trucking services and so much more! The resilience of this group must be applauded, as near the end, the program switched to a virtual platform due to COVID-19 health and safety measures. Their time in the program concluded with the first-ever virtual Union Bank Start-Up Pitch Competition, in which the startups competed for three business grants and one “Audience Choice” Award via YouTube.
