BlackBerry Partners Fund launches Jump Start initiative

The boys behind the BlackBerry Developer Challenge have launched a new initiative called Jump Start. With this program, early-stage products can get up to $250,000 in venture funding to get started. The BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Developer Conference is just the place to launch this kind of program, where budding application developers can have just an idea, but still turn it into something. Remember – the Partners fund is for all mobile platforms, not just BlackBerry. Any budding entrepreneurs should check out the program.
