Commercialization & Operating Partner for Venture-Stage Companies

Innovators are building the next generation of solutions for transportation, infrastructure, and industry. But moving from concept to commercial traction in these sectors requires more than capital — it demands execution, expertise, and strategic alignment.

At JMS Innovation & Strategy, we specialize in commercializing complex technologies and serve as a hands-on operating partner to venture investors, helping high-potential startups become high-performing businesses.

We embed with venture-stage companies and align with founders to drive market readiness, customer traction, and scale. We partner with investors to accelerate time-to-value across portfolios. And we focus on the sectors where execution is hard — and impact is highest.

We work at the intersection of innovation and infrastructure:

These are not just industries — they are ecosystems with long sales cycles, public-private interfaces, and high stakes. We know how to navigate them.
