Hello, We're LongJump

We invest $110K at the earliest stages to help turn ambitious ideas into high-growth companies. We're industry-agnostic and intentionally focused on founders building outside of the usual hotspots like SF, NYC, Boston, LA, Seattle, and Miami. Great companies can start anywhere, not just on the coasts.

Our Insights

Backed by founders and operators from

"Having investors who have also been founders has been hands down the best resource. Longjump is one of our most active and engaged investors."

Brian C.

Rivet

"LongJump's been one of our most helpful investors to date, from helping with fundraising to helping us find office space. Every VC says they're more than just a check, but LongJump's the real deal."

John Doe

"Longjump's main value add has been access to been-there-done-that founders. We've had help on bigger rocks like sales process and messaging, but also "trivial" things like setting up an MVP billing system. It's a cheat code at our stage"
