JFFVentures mission is to invest in founders with lived experience who are building technology companies that enable the economic mobility of low-wage workers. JFFV operates in partnership with a leading national nonprofit, Jobs for the Future (JFF), a 40-year-old organization with deep networks and expertise in education and workforce development. JFF works with various partners, including employers, educational institutions, and policymakers, to design and implement innovative strategies to create career pathways and improve economic opportunities for workers.
JFFV provides early-stage capital to founders with lived-experience who are closer to the problems they are seeking to solve; increasing access to quality and affordable learning and skilling solutions, access to career navigation and job placement; access to benefits and supports specifically designed for low-wage workers and ultimately increasing access to quality jobs and economic mobility.
