We're excited to share that JetBlue Ventures has been acquired by SKY Leasing, a leading aviation investment manager and long-term JetBlue partner.

This transaction will usher in the next era of growth for JetBlue Ventures, unlocking new strategic advantages to support founders and scale game-changing technologies by leveraging SKY’s deep industry relationships, global reach, and access to capital, while also continuing to work closely with JetBlue as a strategic partner. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve invested in 55 early-stage startups and made over 40 follow-on investments across the travel, hospitality, and transportation industries, resulting in eight exits.

This next chapter will be defined by new opportunities, and we’re looking forward to continuing this trajectory of success by investing in emerging enterprise technology and frontier tech solutions across the travel and transportation ecosystem!
