We're building the future of Caribbean innovation through AI-powered entrepreneurship, one founder at a time.
JamStart exists to democratize innovation in the Caribbean by empowering young entrepreneurs with AI tools, funding, and mentorship. We believe that with the right support, any Caribbean youth can build world-changing companies.
Our mission is to transform the Caribbean from a region of consumers to a powerhouse of creators, using artificial intelligence as the great equalizer that makes software development accessible to everyone.
Empower 10,000 Caribbean builders by 2030
The principles that guide everything we do
We believe innovation should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background, education, or economic status.
We embrace cutting-edge technology and creative solutions to solve real problems in our communities.
We're building more than startups—we're creating a supportive ecosystem of Caribbean innovators.
Roman is a Jamaican-born land surveyor turned self-taught software developer. His journey began when he realized that AI tools could help him build the software solutions he needed for his surveying work—without a computer science degree.
After successfully creating multiple platforms including SurveyManagerApp, SurveyPath, and FolderCopilot, Roman recognized that AI had fundamentally changed who could build software. This realization sparked the vision for JamStart.
"I'm living proof that AI has democratized software development. Now I want to help 10,000 more young Caribbean people unlock that same power and transform our region's economy."
