🤩
RockstarJacob Smith is a board member, investor, and co-founder of Packet who has spent a decade building and scaling digital infrastructure—from founding Packet in 2014 through its 2020 acquisition and subsequent evolution into Equinix Metal. He led GTM, product-led growth, and customer success initiatives at Equinix, helping integrate PLG and self-service into a scaled $8B sales-led revenue engine. Today he invests through Humans of the Internet and advises startups (including Ori) focused on open source, internet infrastructure, sustainability, and AI cloud operations. Jacob pairs operator experience with fundraising and community-building skills developed during long service on arts and nonprofit boards. A classically trained, former principal bassoonist, he brings the discipline and collaborative instincts of a musician to strategic leadership and founder support while living in Southern Vermont.
