Overview
JumpPhase Labs is a private venture development lab that builds startups based on more than 25 years of experience building successful companies. We’re passionate about building innovative, transformative, high-growth companies. We believe that entrepreneurs change the world, that startups are the best vehicles for economic and human progress, and that technology and innovation are the fuel that drives the engine of progress.
What is a venture development lab?
A venture development lab is a company that brings ideas, resources, talent, capital and management together to form new startups.
Our goal is to consider several extraordinary ideas a year, both internally and externally sourced, and to launch those that best fit our interests, match our network and offer the greatest return on our resources.
We’ve been doing the “venture development lab” model since 2001, when our founder started helping startups after co-founding and eventually exiting Questia Media, the world’s largest digital library.
In addition to independently launching new ventures, we’ve also done active angel investing, served on boards of directors, worked with venture capital firms to explore new technologies and launch new companies, developed and launched venture acceleration programs, advised early-stage companies, provided interim executive leadership and jointly launched new companies with other labs, entrepreneurs and VC firms.
Do you think you have one of the ideas that we should consider this year? Drop us a line.
How does JumpPhase Labs approach building startups?
Our focus is on enterprise value, including protecting and building that value. A healthy, sustainable, valuable company cannot be built without close attention to the current market trends, market value of products being developed, overhead costs, debt-to-equity ratio and return-on-investment of capital.
What can we do for you?
As a full-stack venture development lab, we basically have to do everything in order to be successful, but we don’t have to do it all ourselves. While we have broad experiences and skills, we also know how to get the right partners involved and to keep a company or project moving forward. Working smart is our touchstone and progress is our watchword.
What can you do for us?
We are looking for extraordinary opportunities that offer exceptional return on investment. Usually that means an idea that leverages technology and automation, a large, rapidly emerging market opportunity, disruptive potential and a unique competitive advantage. If you know of a company that fits that criteria, get in touch!
How does JumpPhase Labs make money?
We provide paid consulting services and we form partnerships through our acceleration programs to take an equity position in companies. We strive for transparency in all of our transactions and no question is off-limits.
Who runs JumpPhase Labs?
JumpPhase Labs takes a team approach to helping companies and has relationships with a variety of specialists and some extraordinary, entrepreneurial generalists who typically play a role as an advisor, strategic consultant or even interim executive.
