It’s 2022 and that means Generator is hosting the next cohort of makers and entrepreneurs as part of JumpStart 2022!
These eight talented makers were selected to participate in JumpStart 2022, our business development program, organized in partnership with the Center for Women and Enterprise and facilitated by Business Coach, Emily Eley.
