So much going on. Not enough progress?
Strategic and hands-on support to help business founders keep things moving.
Being a business founder is a lot
You’ve got projects, tasks, and ideas coming out of your ears. And it’s on you to make it all happen.
You’re brilliant at what you do, but you can’t do everything alone. Not at the speed you want.
And you’re worried about stalling progress, dropping balls or making poor decisions because you haven’t got enough of the right people around you. People who understand where you’re heading and can help you plan the route and do the work to get there.
Overloaded? We’re all over it.
Maybe some of these feel like you:
- Clear on what needs doing but don’t have enough time.
- Overwhelmed and need help planning your next moves.
- Prone to pivoting and disappearing down rabbit holes.
- Pulled into reactive mode because everything feels urgent.
- Finding delegation difficult or managing people draining.
- Burnt out from keeping all the wheels turning.
Lighten your load and focus on what matters
Everyone needs something different, so we can support you in three ways.
- 1. Help you plan
- 2. Help you stay on track
- 3. Help you do the work
Cheerleader. Writer. Positioner. Builder. Jump starter.
I’m Laura Silcock, founder of Jump Starter. Over the last three decades, I’ve worked in industries ranging from fashion to pharmaceuticals with start-ups, corporates, household names, charities, agencies and more.
I’ve seen what can happen when capable people don’t have the right support. So I set up Jump Starter to help founders escape the overload and build a successful business without burning out.

She’s incredibly resourceful and insightful, often anticipating challenges before they arose and coming forward with thoughtful, practical solutions. Her work is very well organised and consistently detail focused, which made a huge difference in keeping the project running smoothly.
I also found her to be highly reliable and adaptable – someone you can trust to step in wherever needed and handle changing priorities with ease. She brought lots of good ideas to the table and contributed meaningfully to both planning and execution.
