Business Ventures
Jim’s interest in new and emerging industries, including alternative energy, media and the biotechnology industry, has resulted in the founding of several companies.
Currently, Intellimedix and Marine Studios occupy space at Jacoby Group's Atlanta headquarters. Intellimedix is a biotechnology company engaged in accelerated drug discovery and personalized medicine. Initially working on finding treatments and cures for seizure disorders, the company uses computer algorithms and an ion proton gene sequencer to identify gene mutations, repurpose FDA-approved drugs. Marine Studios produces films themed on ocean-based environmental issues.
Former business ventures include Jacoby Energy, a public/private partnership which reclaimed methane gas from Atlanta’s Live Oak landfill for use in the Atlanta Gas Light pipeline to serve local energy needs, and helped found Next 3-D, a computer based media company.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or ventures:
“Faces, suddenly suspended above you;
faces that you think it’s your business to love
if only you could remember their names.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“At the moment when a man openly makes known his difference of opinion from a well-known party leader, the whole world thinks that he must be angry with the latter. Sometimes, however, he is just on the point of ceasing to be angry with him. He ventures to put himself on the same plane as his opponent, and is free from the tortures of suppressed envy.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
