JORDAN BREIGHNER

Petoskey MI

Founder + Managing Director of Coolhouse Labs a startup Accelerator and early stage venture fund. I work with and invest in early stage technology companies that use technology to build brands and products people love.

Born and raised in Harbor Springs, Michigan before moving to Park City, Utah in High School to pursue a ski racing career. After two years of trouncing around the world chasing gates I found my way to the University of Utah. I joined the Obama Campaign in the summer of 2008 as part of the data + analytics team, and continued my eastern migration with a move to DC to work in the Obama administration at the White House and Homeland Security. After two years in the administration, I joined up with some former campaign friends to help start the DC office of SS+K, a creative communications agency based out of NYC.

Three years ago I moved back to Northern Michigan to launch Coolhouse Labs. We've run three programs and helped launch 17 companies from all over the world.

I've helped elect a president, launched global brands, got a top secret clearance (still not sure how that happened), helped modernize the government, and helped some really amazing companies get off the ground with Coolhouse Labs. At my core, I'm a community builder who loves solving big complex problems and building authentic relationships.
