What jumpp – Ihr Sprungbrett in die Selbständigkeit, Frauenbetriebe e. V. does

jumpp – Frauenbetriebe e. V. is a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1984 and headquartered at Hamburger Allee 96 in Frankfurt am Main's Bockenheim district, Germany. The organization provides consulting, networking, and project-based support services for women and FLINTA (women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans, and agender) founders and entrepreneurs, primarily in the state of Hessen and the Rhine-Main region. Its service portfolio spans the full business lifecycle from pre-founding through business succession, delivered through dedicated programs including the Koordinierungsstelle Frauen & Wirtschaft coordination office, Generation N business succession matching, Get ready for change / NeW4Job+ re-entry support, Hidden Treasures for women aged 45+, SelbständICH civic engagement, the Unternehmerinnenforum RheinMain (UFO) network, the annual Hessischer Unternehmerinnentag, and the Jumpp Inspire Award competition.

The organization is not a technology company; its core delivery model is human consulting and in-person/online programming built on a TYPO3 CMS website with Brevo (Sendinblue) for newsletters and Matomo for self-hosted web analytics. It serves SMBs, aspiring founders, re-entering professionals, migrant women, and women aged 45+, with documented beneficiary case studies spanning zero-waste retail, accessibility construction, recruitment, knowledge publishing, fashion, AI-platform startups, and consumer products. The board (Vorstand) currently comprises Unica Peters and Rosina Walter, following the 2025 departure of former Managing Director Christiane Stapp-Osterod, who was subsequently awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz (Federal Cross of Merit).

Revenue is generated entirely through public project grants and institutional sponsorship rather than service fees, with principal funders including the Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (BMFSFJ), the Hessian Ministry for Social Affairs and Integration, and Jobcenter Frankfurt, supplemented by EU Social Fund programs and corporate supporters including Bank of America and Helaba Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen. Quality certifications include CertQUA, Weiterbildung Hessen, and PHINEO. Services are free or subsidized at the point of use, with GTM motion driven by events (Hessischer Unternehmerinnentag, Inspire Award, succession days), community-led engagement via the UFO network, direct-to-consumer consulting, and referral pipelines from Frankfurt's Frauenreferat, Jobcenter Frankfurt, and the FAKD and IFF coalitions.

Others

• PHINEO gAG: German impact analysis organization that certifies charitable effectiveness. Related ecosystem player — PHINEO certifies jumpp's quality — but operates on the analytical/advisory side of the non-profit sector rather than as direct service provider to founders.

Direct peers

• impact hub Berlin GmbH: Part of a global network of entrepreneurship hubs offering workspace, programming, and community for impact-driven founders. Comparable in mission (supporting purpose-driven entrepreneurship) and programming model, though operating as a hybrid coworking/incubator rather than pure consulting.
• Social Impact gGmbH: German non-profit supporting social entrepreneurship and impact-focused founders through programs, incubators, and events. Comparable in mission (supporting mission-driven founders), funding model (project grants), and target beneficiaries.
• SEND e.V. – Social Entrepreneurship Netzwerk Deutschland: National network organization for social enterprises in Germany. Comparable as a German non-profit ecosystem builder supporting purpose-driven founders through networking, advocacy, and programming.
• Social Entrepreneurship Stiftung: Foundation promoting social entrepreneurship ecosystem in Germany. Comparable as a German non-profit advancing mission-driven entrepreneurship through funding, programs, and advocacy, with overlapping target founders.

Emerging players

• Founders Foundation gGmbH: Bielefeld-based non-profit running founder programs and corporate-startup collaboration initiatives. Comparable in non-profit model supporting entrepreneurship, though more focused on tech startup creation than gender-targeted support.
• Stiftung Entrepreneurship: German foundation promoting entrepreneurship education and founder support, particularly at universities. Comparable mission and target demographic (aspiring founders) but focused on academic pipeline rather than women's specific lifecycle support.

Regional players

• RKW Hessen GmbH: Regional SME consulting organization serving Hessen with similar advisory, succession, and business development services. Directly comparable geography and target market (Hessen SMBs) but operates without jumpp's gender-specific mission constraint.

Broad incumbents

• EXIST – Existenzgründungen aus der Wissenschaft (BMWK): Federal Ministry-funded program supporting academic entrepreneurship through grants and incubators at German universities. Comparable in public-grant-funded founder support and consultative service delivery, though focused on science-based spinouts rather than women's entrepreneurship.

Comparable in serving the German entrepreneurship support function but at a national, advocacy-focused scale rather than regional direct service delivery.
