“Spencer has been an invaluable part of our team from day one. He signed on as an early advisor and investor before we even had a product and introduced us to a large number of people in his network. He has provided ongoing advice and support as we've grown, and whenever I look back at something he told me months prior, he always turned out to be right. He has pushed us to grow and hire faster, provided us with opportunities to share our story with his audience, and in general has been a big part of our success. Best of all, he's just a kind person who is enjoyable to work with. Couldn't recommend working with Spencer more!”

— Claire Schmidt, Founder & CEO of AllVoices

— Ken Lian, Co-Founder & CEO of Cheese Financial

— Lucas Dickey, CPO/Co-Founder & Michael Barlow, CEO/Co-Founder of Fernish

“As a tremendously successful entrepreneur, Spencer is quick to offer his operational insights and help you through any number of challenges that you will inevitably face as an executive.

— Aaron Rudenstine, CEO of ButterflyMX

“Spencer is both incredibly down to earth and successful in his own right. He is truly a founder. It’s clear it’s in his blood. He helps with scale, how to organize teams, business models, financings - you name it, he’s done it or can help find someone who’s done it. You’d be crazy not to partner with him in building your company.”

— Tim Ellis, Co-Founder & CEO of Relativity Space

“Spencer was an early investor in MOD Pizza when it was still a small regional brand. He believed in our unique purpose-driven culture and our ability to quickly scale the concept across the country and has been a supportive partner throughout our critical growth phase. He has been a valuable resource to my team in areas such as building company culture, scaling the organization, and public company readiness. His lessons from years of running scaled technology companies have helped my team see what’s possible.”

— Scott Svenson, Co-Founder & CEO of MOD Pizza

“An ‘Unfair Advantage.’ As a leader, you’re constantly looking to create unfair advantages that accelerate growth and make it difficult for competitors to challenge. It’s what separates the good companies from the exceptional. And when you’re a start-up with limited resources - unfair advantages are elusive. People typically think about unfair advantages having to do with product innovations that generate network effects or go-to-market rhythms that distinguish your offering, such as a unique business model. But unfair advantages can be people too, including investors. Spencer’s partnership is an unfair advantage:

Want to know who the best product or engineering leaders are? He's cultivated a list as long as your arm.

Want to bounce disruptive go-to-market ideas off someone? Who better to talk to than someone who’s created several market-leading companies from scratch.

Want an intro to a potential partner or investor? He has the best network.

Want to talk about building culture? He’s built the #1 place to work.

Want advice on hard problems? He’s seen them all.

But most importantly - he’s fearless, makes himself available, is unafraid to share, and supports you as if he’s your co-founder.”

— Pete Christothoulou, Founder & CEO of Xembly

“Spencer has been an angel investor in three of my companies and has proven to be a must have on the cap table. Whether he is facilitating introductions, providing insights on how to scale our organizations, or providing critical marketing and advertising feedback, time spent with Spencer is always value add. His reach extends beyond himself though, as the relationships he has helped foster have provided tremendous value as well.”

— Keith Richman, Co-Founder of Boosted Commerce

— Ryan Windham, Co-Founder & CEO of Zeitworks

His operational knowledge, and experience as a publicly traded CEO, aligned perfectly for my organization. I am grateful to have a strong business and personal relationship with him”

— Brian Bair, Co-Founder & CEO of Offerpad

“Spencer was the best angel investor I’ve ever worked with. It was an enormous pleasure. He was tireless, I don’t know how much he actually sleeps. He would respond almost immediately to e-mails that I would send at 1am in the morning. He has a great strategic mind, helps sift through the noise to focus on the core issues, and breaks them into solvable chunks. He is a great connector and has an incredible network. He introduced me to other angel investors, strategic partners, and colleagues that greatly helped our journey. He is always positive and full of energy. You might shy away from asking some folks for help. With Spencer, you see that he embraces it and is always happy to help any way he can.”

— Ross Saario, CEO of Domicile

He is the first call I would make when looking to build or join my next company.”

— Steve Mohebi, Co-Founder & President of Canopy Space
