Reboot

About The Fund

Reboot is a firm centered on the personal and professional growth of startup CEOs and their teams. Their approach marries practical business advice with deep self-inquiry, aiming to cultivate better, more resilient, and compassionate leaders. While they specialize in coaching services rather than direct investment, their extensive experience in the venture capital arena informs their guidance. With specialties in seed, series A, and series B stages, Reboot leverages the emotional and psychological aspects of leadership, aligning them with business success metrics. Founded by Jerry Colonna, a certified professional coach and veteran investor, the firm operates on the belief that improving oneself as a human is essential to being an effective leader. Jerry's experience as a partner at JPMorgan Partners and Flatiron Partners, where he was integral in establishing one of the nation's most successful early-stage investment programs. This background gives him unique insights into the needs of growing companies. Reboot's services include one-on-one coaching, team experiences, 360 reviews, bootcamps, and workshops, designed to address the individual challenges faced by leaders and their organizations. They offer additional resources through books like 'Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up' and 'The Art of Being Human at Work' as well as podcasts and self-guided courses, covering topics from psychological trauma to conscious living and ethical leadership. Positioned at the nexus of leadership development and inner work, Reboot's methodology emphasizes the interconnectivity of personal well-being and professional success. While their website does not directly list investing in companies as one of their services, their approach to coaching future leaders undoubtedly impacts the ecosystem of startups and can influence investment decisions. Their commitment is also evident in their involvement with various educational and social entrepreneurship efforts, such as Jerry Colonna's role with Naropa University and the Tibetan Village Project.
