Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, The JumpFund invests primarily in the energy and information technology sectors in the Southeast region of the United States. With $7.7mm under management, the firm has invested in 22 companies and has had one successful exit. The JumpFund aims to increase investment in female entrepreneurs and gender diverse teams, as women-led companies are outperforming their all-male counterparts in VC portfolios. The firm also encourages more women to become "angel" investors to diversify the investor landscape and grow women's access to capital. With over 80 investors, the majority of which are female, The JumpFund is contributing to the growing number of women-led firms focused on "gender lens" investing.
