LogicBoost Labs

Founder and CEO Jonathan Cogley leads investment decisions, drawing on his experience building Thycotic into an enterprise cybersecurity company acquired by TPG Capital. His long-time business partner Chris Staszak serves as President and CTO, participating in both investment evaluation and hands-on technical advisory for portfolio companies. The firm operates with a lean principal structure centered on this two-person leadership core.

LogicBoost Labs sources deals through a combination of the founder's personal network in the enterprise software and cybersecurity industries and its deep ties to the San Diego startup community. The firm is a long-term supporter and partner of Startup San Diego, which connects it to founders at the earliest stages. Its Liberty Station headquarters also serve as a physical hub for local founder engagement.

LogicBoost Labs occupies a hybrid space. It is structured as an asset manager, not a registered venture capital firm with outside limited partners, and the capital comes from Jonathan Cogley's Thycotic exit proceeds. However, it operates with the active, hands-on posture of an early-stage venture investor rather than a passive family office, providing both capital and technical co-building support through its CTO-in-residence model.

The firm focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage startups, with capacity to follow on in growth rounds when the initial thesis plays out. Its strategy spans the earliest institutional check through to later-stage support, though the primary emphasis remains on being a company's first or second outside investor. The stage coverage is generalist within its core technical sectors.

The capital base originates from the acquisition of Thycotic, the privileged access management company Cogley founded and ran as CEO. TPG Capital acquired Thycotic, providing the liquidity that now funds LogicBoost Labs' investment activity. Cogley's founder exit forms the entire financial backbone of the firm's deployment capacity.

The firm concentrates on enterprise software and cybersecurity, reflecting the team's direct operational experience at Thycotic. Its generalist mandate also extends to adjacent technical infrastructure and startup-stage companies where the founding team's product and engineering background provides an edge. Public communications do not list explicit sector exclusions.

The firm supports Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the children's literacy nonprofit, though no separate philanthropic foundation vehicle has been disclosed publicly. The giving appears to flow through the firm or principals directly, rather than through a distinct family foundation structure.
