Brett Jackson co-founded v1.vc after four years in sales and marketing at Crocs, giving him deep consumer and brand-operator experience that he brings to hardware and consumer-facing startups. He focuses specifically on seed-stage hardware, robotics, and food & beverage companies with small but consistent check sizes around $50K–$100K, making him a fit for very early technical companies in the Mountain West that might be too specialized for larger coastal funds.
