Michael McMahon is the co-founder and managing partner of Jump Capital, a Chicago-based venture firm he launched in 2012 after spending 16 years at GE and GE Capital, plus serving as president of SIRVA. His investment thesis targets early-stage companies (seed through Series B) in fintech, B2B SaaS, cloud and enterprise infrastructure, future of commerce, media/content, retail, and education, primarily in the Midwest but with national scope. McMahon typically acts as a lead investor, having served as the lead partner on 18 deals, though specific check sizes are not publicly disclosed. Notable portfolio companies include Teikametrics (where he serves on the board), LogicGate, LISNR, Eventus Systems, and Degreed. Jump Capital emphasizes a thesis-driven, sector-focused approach that pairs capital with deep domain expertise and hands-on operational support rather than just writing checks. McMahon has not published distinctive public writing or a widely cited point of view separate from Jump Capital’s firm thesis, and no unique personal investment philosophy beyond the firm’s stated focus is documented in available sources.
