Quick answers to common questions about JamStart
Any Caribbean resident with a startup idea can apply. We welcome founders at all stages, from complete beginners to those with existing prototypes. No technical background required— we'll teach you AI tools and development skills.
We provide $5,000 to $25,000 USD per startup, released in milestones throughout the program. The exact amount depends on your needs, stage, and program track.
We typically take 5-7% equity or a revenue share agreement, depending on the funding tier. Our goal is to be founder-friendly while ensuring program sustainability.
The core program is 3 months intensive, followed by 6 months of continued support and mentorship. We run 1-2 cohorts per year with 10-20 startups each.
No! We accept founders from across the Caribbean. While some activities happen in Kingston, much of the program is virtual and accessible from anywhere in the region.
Perfect! That's exactly who we're designed for. We'll teach you to use AI tools, no-code platforms, and modern development techniques. Many successful founders start with zero technical experience.
