JumpStart made good money on its original nonprofit investment fund — enough to sustain the organization's efforts to invest in local tech startups for the foreseeable future while also paying for new programs designed to help entrepreneurs.

So far, JumpStart has more than doubled the $27 million put into the first version of its Evergreen Fund, CEO Ray Leach said. Through that fund, the nonprofit invested in 76 startups over nearly a decade, starting in 2004.
