Why Paramount?
Proven Experience
We've worked with entrepreneurs and revitalized economically distressed communities for over a decade. We've assisted over 800 businesses, from early-stage startups to companies generating $8M a year in revenue.
A team that reflects the communities we serve
Our owners are female and Hispanic, and we're intentional about building a diverse team of mentors and staff. We also offer programming and mentoring in Spanish, so language isn't a barrier to entrepreneurship.
Real commitment to community
We work every day to build stronger communities, and it shows: Citizens Bank recognized our team with First Prize in their Small Business Community Champion Contest.
Relationships that go beyond the transaction
We invest time in strong relationships with clients, program partners, and community stakeholders. Our co-founder Trish serves on the Erie County Lead Team, connecting community leaders and stakeholders to the resources they need.
Coaching that adapts to you
Every entrepreneur learns differently. We adapt our coaching to your learning style, education level, work schedule, and personality, so the guidance actually lands.
Collaboration as a core practice, not just a value
We know we accomplish more by working alongside strong program partners and community stakeholders. In 2021, the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce recognized us with their Leadership Beaver County Partner of the Year Award.
Award Winning Programs
Our Catapult Program won the Silver Excellence in Economic Development Award from the International Economic Development Council, in the category of Economic Equity and Inclusion.
