Jayson Koss
Hi, I'm Jayson Koss. I founded Delivery Dudes back in 2009, a simple idea born from a need I saw in my community. What started as a side hustle soon evolved into a massive operation, spanning over 40 cities and making thousands of deliveries each month. It wasn't just about delivering food; it was about creating a platform that brought happiness, supported local businesses, and offered opportunities to our team.
I believe my real strength lies in building and scaling teams. At Delivery Dudes, I learned that creating a transparent, positive environment was key to our growth. We focused on continuous improvement, always looking for ways to be better, do better, and have fun along the way.
After successfully selling Delivery Dudes, I took some time to reflect and soul-search. This journey led me to found Eightfold Ventures. Here, I'm channeling my experiences and lessons learned into coaching and mentoring emerging e-commerce brands. I'm passionate about helping these founders replicate the success I had with Delivery Dudes, bringing all the tools and insights I gathered to the table.
In addition to leading Eightfold Ventures, I'm also at the helm of Eightfold Labs. My experience with technology at Delivery Dudes has been instrumental here. We're building Shopify apps and providing tech support to our portfolio companies. It's all about leveraging technology to empower e-commerce, something I deeply understand and am excited about.
My journey has been about more than just building businesses; it's been about creating platforms for happiness and growth, both for our customers and our team. Every step has been a learning experience, and I'm looking forward to continuing this journey with Eightfold Ventures and Eightfold Labs.
