Sanctuary Software Expands JumpStart Commitment

Sanctuary Software recently committed to providing $200,000 in discounted and donated services to JumpStart qualified startups through the Preferred Partner Program. Services offered through the program include software development and information consulting. Cost sharing provides 31.5% discounts on development services and up to 100% on consulting – reflecting both an increase in the discount rate and expansion of available funds.

Donated services are delivered via JumpStart through its Preferred Partner Program. Qualified recipients include participants in the JumpStart Trailblazer HealthTech Accelerator and Software Accelerator cohorts, along with organizations receiving JumpStart operational support. JumpStart is scheduled to allocate funds for Sanctuary Software services from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027.

Sanctuary Software’s work through this partnership aligns closely with JumpStart’s objective to provide entrepreneurs with access to high value services and expertise in areas that will help companies achieve significant growth. The ongoing programs at JumpStart provide the critical steps of qualifying available ventures and guiding entrepreneurs through initial product development.

“Sanctuary Software’s expanded commitment reflects the kind of high-impact collaboration that drives real results for early-stage companies,” said Julie Jacono, CEO of JumpStart Inc. “By providing discounted services, Sanctuary is helping our entrepreneurs accelerate their growth strategies and move more confidently toward market readiness. We’re grateful for their continued partnership and the tangible value they bring to the region’s innovation economy.”
