JetBlue Technology Ventures

JetBlue Technology Ventures now operates as SKY VC. The firm invests early in enterprise and frontier companies across travel and transportation and stays involved as they scale, having been active since 2016 with more than 50 early-stage investments and ten portfolio companies taken through to an acquisition or an initial public offering. Its roots lie in SKY Leasing, giving it a network of more than 100 airlines, maintenance and repair organisations, and original equipment manufacturers, alongside a continuing strategic partnership with JetBlue; the firm describes its leadership and team as unchanged under the new, independent structure. Its portfolio includes companies working on corporate travel management, aviation fuel and carbon-capture technology, airport turnaround visibility software, flight-operations artificial intelligence, ground-travel platforms, blockchain infrastructure for trading real-world assets, and revenue-optimisation software used by airlines.
