About - Spero Ventures

We are thesis-driven, high-conviction investors. We invest in the things that make life worth living: well-being, work & purpose and human connection.
We invest in people who have a unique point of view about the world and the problem they aim to solve.
We fund opportunities that we believe can become billion-dollar businesses.
We are tech investors: We invest in software or software-enabled hardware.
We prefer to lead or co-lead a $3-$12M round (late seed or Series A). Our typical check is $2-$3M, and we reserve capital for follow-on.
We are drawn to the growth potential and the power of platforms and network effects.
We want to see early indicators of product-market fit and customer love before we invest.
