New podcast episode with Stephen Snyder, managing director of JetBlue Ventures

JetBlue has been a pioneering airline in many ways, one of them was the launch, in 2016, of its own in-house venture capital arm, becoming one of the first airlines in the world to do so.

JetBlue Ventures reviews every year nearly 1,000 startup projects in the aviation and travel space and currently manages more than 40 investments across areas such as advanced air mobility, clean propulsion and software solutions that aim to make the travel journey more seamless, efficient and convenient.

I wished to learn more about the dynamics of this industry, how an airline-affiliated venture capital firm like JetBlue Ventures fits into the broader Silicon Valley investment ecosystem, what are its differences and similarities with more generalist venture firms and which are the criteria that drive their investment decisions.

So, in today’s episode we travel all the way to the Bay Area to chat with Stephen Snyder, managing director of JetBlue Ventures, about all these points and learn a bit more about the different companies and trends that he is currently paying more attention to.

Tune in to listen to our conversation with Stephen Snyder, managing director of JetBlue Ventures!
