Focus statement

Spero invests in companies improving human health and longevity, upgrading planet-critical systems (water, food, energy, transportation, manufacturing, waste), and new technologies that change how we create, learn, and work; they lead and co-lead seed and Series A rounds (funds $3–$10M; initial checks typically $2–$4M).

Value Add

Operator-heavy team with direct scaling experience at Tesla, Stripe, and eBay and early bets in Carta, Tumblr, and Turo (site lists these companies as experience/portfolio).
Concentrated portfolio approach enabling deep, hands-on engagement: "allows us to engage deeply with our founders, building meaningful, long-lasting relationships rooted in trust and shared goals."
Explicit, measurable stage and check-sizing (lead/co-lead seed & Series A; typical initial check $2–$4M with reserves), giving founders clarity on capital strategy.
Deliberate focus on diversity and closing the Series A funding gap for underrepresented founders—committed to investing earlier (seed) and providing operational resources to help clear Series A bar.
Practical, operational support offerings: on-call guidance, office hours, product/design sprints, lean canvases, and introductions to early-stage experts.
