Advanced Manufacturing Fund

The Advanced Manufacturing Funding invests in high-potential early-stage manufacturing companies in Ohio and helps them navigate the unique business building and funding challenges that manufacturing startups face. We exist because advanced manufacturing companies often struggle to attract early-stage funding. Compared with software and service businesses, manufacturing startups typically require more time and capital to achieve scale. The AMF attempts to fill this gap by offering a unique combination of right-sized funding and expert advice from experienced investors and economic development partners. Along with our investment partner, JumpStart, MAGNET, Northeast Ohio's Manufacturing Extension Partner (MEP) also offers expert advice and technical support to our investor group and portfolio companies.
