Description
SKY VC backs founders building technologies that reshape how the world moves, investing early in enterprise and frontier companies across travel and transportation and staying close as they scale. Since 2016 the firm has invested in more than 50 early-stage startups and supported eight through to exit via acquisition or IPO, with notable portfolio companies including Joby, Tomorrow.io, FLYR, Assaia, Betterez, and others across aviation, logistics, insurance, and travel technology. Its investment focus spans Enterprise Technologies—modernizing digital infrastructure, applications, data architecture, and cybersecurity within the highly regulated travel and transportation industry—and Frontier Technologies, including next-gen connectivity, robotics, and quantum computing. Originally founded as JetBlue's corporate venture capital arm, the firm rebranded to SKY VC in 2025 following its acquisition by SKY Leasing, a premier aviation asset manager, while maintaining the same leadership and team and a continued strategic partnership with JetBlue. The firm primarily serves and partners with early-stage startup founders in the travel, hospitality, and transportation sectors.
