Miles Spenser is a fairly normal guy from Pittsburgh who has strayed a long way from home. He has been a mentor of tech founders for 30 years, and a father of kids for 11. The similarities are remarkable.
Miles’s day job has been to help create over 1,100 jobs while founding, financing, building and exiting three digital media companies. Prior to that, he was a Venture Principal at Capital Express (register.com), hosted MoneyHunt on PBS (pre-Shark Tank), led over 1,500 people across 14 miles of open sea on kayak, and trekked 1,100 miles through the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria. His book about the desert trek, A Line in the Sand, ended up an Amazon Bestseller in the Middle East.
After a bit of a pandemic reset, Miles is now actively investing and directly managing teams in digital media, entertainment, and consumer products. He also enjoys painting watercolors with his daughter or playing rugby with his son.
