WELCOME!

We work to revitalize Philadelphia through training, mentoring, networking and providing financial resources to local aspiring developers. We are more than a bank, we’re a non-traditional, community-driven lender ready to see you succeed!

JUMPSTART GERMANTOWN GRADUATES 29TH CLASS

Congratulations to the 57 graduates of Jumpstart Germantown’s Winter 2024 Class! We are continuously inspired by all the training program participants dedicated to improving their communities through real estate development. 


Throughout the 5 week program participants meet and learn from a dozen different presenters in the industry, ranging from lenders and architects to contractors and real estate agents. Participants also have the opportunity to visit a property undergoing renovation and talk with the developer about the project. Over 13+ hours our graduates learn about the 7 JumpSteps of Residential Real Estate Development as well as network with one another and guest speakers.


We are thrilled to see the continued interest in the program and look forward to hosting the 30th Jumpstart Germantown class in the Fall. If you are interested in learning more about upcoming offerings, fill out the Contact Us page at JumpstartGermantown.com/contact-us and we’ll email you as soon as applications open.  


Once again, congrats to those who graduated March 21st - we can’t wait to see what you do next!

"There’s no shortage of opportunity in the city of Philadelphia and I think Jumpstart understood that very well. It just provided an opportunity and a platform for people to be able to work together to achieve the things that are necessary to have in a city, which is affordable quality housing."


Les Hamilton, Jumpstart Germantown Graduate & Borrower

JUMPSTART DREXEL CO-OP

Meet Janis!

A warm welcome for our new Jumpstart Philly co-op, Janis Niv! Janis is a junior at Drexel University majoring in Entrepreneurship and Innovation with minors in Real Estate and Business Consulting. 


She is passionate about equitable housing, sustainability, and making Philadelphia a better place to be. She is very excited to be working with a firm dedicated to helping first-time developers become entrepreneurs through real estate. For the next 6 months, Janis will be assisting us with loan evaluations, social media marketing, JUMPinars, and our many other operations!


Her future goals are to get the real estate license in PA, be a graduate of the Jumpstart Philly program and pursue real estate rehabilitation and development on the side.
