About Jessica Martinsen

When I was in elementary school, I would go door-to-door selling flower vases, picture frames, costume jewelry, even half-burned candles, whatever I could find in the basement storage boxes at my mom\'s house. I didn\'t do it to make money, I did it because it was fun. I loved the rush I felt knocking on doors, pitching my basement merch, and negotiating a price for each of my items. I realize now people probably thought it was cute and that\'s why they bought my used and dusty knick-knacks, but that same inner-sales drive still exists in me today. What’s evolved is how I channel it.My career has been less about pushing products and more about building understanding. I’ve consistently worked at the intersection of research, strategy, relationships, and execution. From marketplace startups and SaaS platforms to fintech, real estate, and solar, the pattern has been the same: identify the real problem, shape the narrative, and create demand through trust, clarity, and relevance.I’m a builder by nature. I’m drawn to complexity, early-stage environments, and market creation. I like being new to markets, learning the ecosystem, and helping people see opportunities and efficiencies they didn’t know were possible.
