About Jumpstart

Jumpstart is a private, member-lead, angel group that invests in early-stage technology companies in the Mid-Atlantic region. As the leading angel group in New Jersey, Jumpstart members include many successful entrepreneurs, business executives and venture capitalists in the region.

Jumpstart was formed in November of 2002 with the active support of New Jersey Technology Council (NJTC) and New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA). At that time, the CEO's of the NJTC and the EDA met with successful entrepreneurs and professional investors to encourage the formation an angel investor network to help early-stage companies. Shortly after this meeting, Jumpstart was born.

Since its formation, Jumpstart has developed a strong relationship with the venture capital community. This relationship along with ties to the EDA and the NJTC allows Jumpstart to take full advantage of local resources to help early-stage companies.
