Our Team
At Spero, we understand that meaningful progress isn’t built in grand gestures and a meaningful mission does not make a successful company.
To help our founders deliver on both the big and small of their world changing work, we’ve assembled a team of investors and operators with experience building and scaling some of the world’s most influential companies, including Tesla, Stripe, and eBay.
We offer on-call guidance when you’re in the weeds, strategic perspective when you need to see the horizon, and we’ll believe in your purpose as deeply as you do.
Shripriya Mahesh
General Partner
We built Spero Ventures around a single idea: everyone deserves the opportunity to live a good life, and technology should help further that goal.
Andrew Parker
General Partner
I’m drawn to entrepreneurs who are makers—
who are hands-on building the product in the early days.
Sara Eshelman
General Partner
Technology should be solving real problems – for people and the planet. We’re starting with problems first and seeking out incredible founders working on them.
Marc Tarpenning
Venture Partner
I became an investor to help entrepreneurs bring about radical change in old industries by creating sustainable products and experiences that are significantly better than the old way of doing things
Stephen Wemple
Principal
I want to work with companies that make the world healthier, people more optimistic and society more productive.
