Jump Starter

So much going on. Not enough progress?

Strategic and practical 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.

Whatever you’re struggling with, we help you get clear, feel in control and get things done, whether that’s shaping strategy, fixing processes or moving projects forward.

Lighten your load and focus on what matters

Everyone needs something different, so we can support you in three ways.

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 happens 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.

Testimonials

"I worked with Laura on a project recently and she quickly proved to be an invaluable support. 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.

Laura’s a genuinely easy, grounded person to collaborate with, which made the whole process feel calmer and more manageable. Overall, I felt supremely supported working with her."
