In today’s digital world, the success of a business heavily relies on its ability to adapt and utilize technology and internet. Reigning the realms of technology is JBT3, al web3–based full–scale development and growth service provider that help startups and small businesses to unlock boundless potentials and drive business growth.
JBT3 originated in 2013 on the small island of Jersey, an off-shore finance center. The man behind the inception, James Baker, the Founder and CEO of JBT3 is not just a tech enthusiast but an exceptional visionary leader. He is a passionate sales and marketing professional and consultant working in the technology industry for over two decades.
After working for a prominent UK cybersecurity solutions provider for seven years, James made the bold decision to venture into entrepreneurship. A deep–seated belief that he could offer a higher standard of service and make a more significant impact in the field spurred him to establish his own company.
While working at the UK cybersecurity solutions provider, James witnessed a multitude of technically brilliant cybersecurity startups from around the world that remained virtually unknown outside their home countries. These exceptional companies were not gaining the recognition and market share they deserved due to limited resources and access to international markets.
This realization ignited James’s passion to bridge the gap between these innovative cybersecurity startups and untapped markets. JBT3 was initially formed with the primary objective of assisting these startups in expanding their reach and establishing a presence in new territories. In 2021 they opened up to work with all startups, not just within the cybersecurity industry, but added new service offerings, rebranded, and made significant new hires.
A Remarkable Journey through the Years
Initially set up as a growth service provider for cybersecurity startups in 2013, JBT3 achieved a significant break- through when they successfully negotiated contracts with a Swedish tech vendor to supply their services to 240 NHS hospitals over a five–year period. This accomplishment significantly expanded the company’s portfolio, allowing it to offer outsourced technical support along with other services.
Building on this success, JBT3 further expanded their partnerships to include four additional cybersecurity tech vendors from the USA, Germany, and Scandinavia. The need to be closer to clients led the company to shift its. base to Prague, placing it at the heart of Europe.
Over the years, JBT3 has achieved significant milestones that include shipping over 500,000 security devices and 200,000 management licenses. They also expanded operations in London, and Wyoming in February, and March 2023 respectively.

Unrealistic expectations can also be a stumbling block, and it is crucial for these startups to have moderated expectations and a focus on sustainability.”
