Dear Jumpstarter,

I hope I find you well and healthy. I hope your businesses are continuing to thrive in these unprecedented times both nationally and globally. We are in this together.

I am excited to share with you that SJI has signed an equity investment deal with a UK-based investment organization, CMI, to become a VC Fund. CMI brings a rich pool of private equity and angel investors from all over the globe who are looking to invest in businesses like yours. This comes at a time when we felt there was a need to secure funding for high growth tech-based scale-ups in our incubator-accelerator. The partnership will ensure funding for disruptive innovators, companies that are using technology to disrupt industries and sectors.

If you are a tech-based organization this opportunity is for you. Please send an expression of interest (pitch deck) to [email protected]. Please also join our virtual incubator on https://www.linkedin.com/groups/9213502/. Those interested in the investment opportunity will meet with the CEO of CMI on the 3rd of August from 4pm-5pm on ZOOM.

Wishing you all the best. I remain the same.
