HISTORY

JETPACK^©’s co-creation emerged through a collaboration between my thesis work in applying design as an approach to help entrepreneurs, Volta Collaborative and Savannah College of Art and Design. The toolkit first began to emerge in 2013 as a process roadmap for enabling startups and small business owners to create new ventures. Through many iterations and co-creation sessions with startups, non-profits, and community leaders JETPACK^© emerged as an approach to better establish context and value around a business.

Now JETPACK lives on as four core stages with additional modules on various strategic approaches to help ventures better address where they are, where they want to go, and how to get there.

Design is as much a method of solving problems and discovering opportunity as it is building or creating. JETPACK^© as a resource is intended to be an open source methodology for entrepreneurs to leverage and build into their process and capability. While the tools are simple, the process is strong and could not have been accomplished without the help of many individuals willing to put in the time.
