The JumpFund

The JumpFund invests in high-growth, scalable, women-led ventures in the Southeastern United States. While we are industry agnostic, we seek companies that are a "right fit" for our portfolio and those to which we feel we can add the most value and help scale. Please read through the following investment criteria before seeking capital from our group. Our criteria: -Woman-led: At least one female in a C-level role, with a meaningful position in the organization that influences the strategic direction of the company, and has a significant equity stake. -Located in the Southeastern United States: This includes Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia. -Strong, diverse leadership team: The management team should have deep industry knowledge and business acumen, as well as an understanding of their product, new and existing competitors’ products, and their potential market share. Strong management teams will exhibit enthusiasm and confidence in their team’s ability to execute. We see our investment as a partnership with our entrepreneurs and appreciate those who communicate effectively with their investors. -Sustainable competitive advantage: Competitive advantages can include high barriers to entry (if no IP, then trade secrets that can allow a reasonable amount of time to become a market leader), disruptive technology, unique/valuable partnerships, etc. -Established C-Corporations (or LLCs on path to incorporation): Must have a strong business model, 5 years proforma, and a clearly defined and well-researched exit strategy. -Ability to scale rapidly and achieve strong returns for investors: We generally prefer to see 3-5 year projections with scalability in excess of $20 million (minimum).
