Scott Jacobson worked inside Amazon on the Kindle launch and Amazon Marketplace before becoming a venture investor, which shows up in his focus on commerce, logistics, and consumer marketplace companies like Rover, FLEXE, Crowd Cow, and Indochino. Founders describe him as direct but empathetic, with advice that favors talking to customers over rushing to build products, and outside of work he restores cars and admits to a weakness for cheap sci-fi e-books and peanut butter cup Blizzards.
