Most teams are stuck stitching together ticketing, merch, content, and gameday tools from different vendors, paying fees at every step, and losing visibility on the fan relationship. Jump changes that. We give you one unified system for ticketing, content, commerce, and gameday ops—purpose-built for sports teams and venues. No hidden fees. No middlemen. Just one platform your team fully owns and controls. Teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves are already using Jump to take back control of their data, margin, and brand, delivering the kind of experience fans expect today. Founded by Marc Lore, Alex Rodriguez, and Jordy Leiser, and backed by top investors like Forerunner, Will Ventures, Mastry, and Courtside, we’re rethinking what the fan experience should be—and how teams can own more of it. With Jump, you can: - Eliminate ticketing fees and recapture lost margin - Grow fan LTV with smarter upsells and owned data - Streamline ops with tools built specifically for sports teams - Align incentives through a SaaS + rev share model It’s everything you need to run and grow a modern sports business, from first click to final whistle.

For most, travel begins by picking a place on a map. But what if we followed our passions instead? Where would they take us? Thermal’s mission is to change the way we travel for the better, by putting passions first. For many of us, activities like surfing, fishing, skiing, cycling, cooking, and yoga are more than just hobbies to pass the time — they’re a core part of who we are. Our passions connect us to community, cement friendships, and make us feel alive. They inspire us to test ourselves, to leave home and explore the world. Traveling in pursuit of our passions brings us experiences we remember for life. Whether it’s the annual group surf trip with lifelong friends, or a solo journey to score a bucket-list wave on the other side of the world, we live for these adventures. Unfortunately, finding and planning these trips is often fraught with difficulty and stress. It’s our goal to change this. Thermal is building the marketplace for passion-driven travel. With a founding team that has shaped companies like Kayak, Airbnb, Hotwire, OpenTable, and Apple, we have the skillset to build a world-class company. Its early days, but were working relentlessly to bring our vision to life, and we’re excited to meet like-minded individuals eager to join us on our journey.
