Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrett Holt is an investor, advisor, and seasoned software leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling product-focused engineering teams and e-commerce platforms from Portland, Oregon. He has a strong track record at companies like Lyft and Patch, shipping buyer-facing features and leading cross-team initiatives for high-integrity carbon credit transactions in the Voluntary Carbon Market. A co-founder and early seed investor in multiple ventures, Brett blends hands-on engineering (full-stack and platform work) with strategic product and go-to-market execution, having implemented complex integrations across payments, WMS, and accounting systems. Known as a pragmatic problem solver and natural leader, he moves comfortably between technical design, team mentorship, and investor-level strategy—an approach honed by launching new products and exits in regulated industries. Outside work he’s an engineer-entrepreneur who brings curiosity to everyday life (and to the occasional culinary experiment).
