About Mollie Jahner

For more than two decades, I’ve lived at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and scale building companies, leading teams, and helping founders turn complex technology into revenue, relationships, and results. My path has taken me through B2B SaaS, aerospace, defense innovation, and deep tech industries where the stakes are high and clarity is everything. Along the way, I’ve driven over $80M in closed revenue, supported more than $300M in venture and grant funding, and helped three startups reach successful exits. Today, through Spring & Forge, I work with technical founders who are ready to grow not just raise. I help them shape their story, sharpen their strategy, and align their go-to-market motion with the right capital partners, whether that’s venture, government, or strategic funding. I’ve learned that scaling a company isn’t just about product or capital it’s about coherence. When your message, model, and market are aligned, growth compounds. That’s where I focus my work. I partner with founders and teams on: Fundraising strategy & investor positioning Go-to-market leadership across brand, demand, and PR Dual-use and defense tech market alignment Marketing systems that scale from seed to Series B I back and build ambitious companies through hands-on leadership, deep networks, and capital that moves with purpose. Let’s connect if you’re raising, scaling, or breaking into deep tech, defense, or frontier markets.
