Helping Northeast Ohio’s Young Entrepreneurs Accelerate Their Start Ups

Goldstein, Caldwell & Associates’ (GCA) mission is to accelerate the start-up business processes and improve the success rates of companies founded by young entrepreneurs, while keeping them and their economic benefit in the Northeast Ohio area.

GCA was founded out of the challenges its owners experienced while trying to start their businesses. Young entrepreneurs are often overlooked by investors and banks, however, GCA believes they are the lifeblood of any innovative and forward moving city. Northeast Ohio has much to offer in terms of the innovative ideas developed at local universities, dynamic investors and business advisors and its great cost of living value.

GCA provides much more than seed funding, and in some cases, it doesn’t provide funding at all. After selectively reviewing proposals and contracting with the most promising entrepreneurs, GCA tailors its business development program to the needs of each client. GCA typically assists the founders with idea validation, product development, business planning, launch processes, staffing and office space. GCA also helps portfolio companies make strategic connections in the area. GCA’s goal is not to take over a business but to help guide and mentor its entrepreneurs as they work together to turn their innovative ideas into viable businesses.
