Jackson Square Ventures

Jackson Square Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2011 and based in San Francisco. The firm focuses on seed and Series A investments in software and marketplace companies, providing capital alongside hands-on operational support to its portfolio founders.

The firm's approach centers on connecting founders with experienced operators and a broader community of fellow founders. This network-oriented model is facilitated through structured community programs, including a Book Club, a weekly Startup Ride, and Launchpad - an in-person 10-week summer accelerator designed for student founders that combines funding with mentorship and direct access to the JSV network.
