jumpp – Frauenbetriebe e.V.

At the beginning of the 1980s, female entrepreneurship was still hardly an issue; it was therefore unusual to campaign for it. The "Frauenbetriebe" association, as jumpp was then known, started out as a pioneer in this field. Its aim was to emphasise the quality of women-owned businesses and to encourage women to develop independent living and working models.

Much has improved since the early years. However, we are still a long way from reaching our goal. The purpose of the association has not yet been achieved: to overcome the discrimination of women in the labour market and to ensure equal participation of women in Germany's economic power. We therefore continue to act as a trailblazer.

Even though our goal has remained unchanged, we are constantly adapting our methods and services to changing conditions. Especially today, in the structurally changed start-up scene, the diversity of self-employment requires specific and modern concepts: In the spirit of equality, jumpp has also been advising men since 2010.
