Building SaaS Without Venture Capital w/ Jordan Kennedy, CEO at Jump


Listen Later

Hello and welcome back to the Collin Cadmus Podcast. Today I’m joined by Jordan Kennedy.

Jordan studied finance and investment banking at Wisconsin School of Business and then started his career as a financial consultant at a financial services company and then as an investment associate at a family office. He then jumped into the tech world getting into Business Development and Revenue Leadership for companies like Wunderkind, Sawyer, and Botify until starting his most recent and current venture where he serves today as the Co-founder and CEO of Jump.

After experiencing first-hand what it’s like to scale teams through the Growth-at-all-Costs model, Jordan and his co-founders are taking a different approach to building Jump, so I’m particularly excited to get his thoughts and find out how they plan to break the status quo.
