Spero Ventures

vc · United States

Spero Ventures is a boutique San Francisco Bay Area venture capital firm founded in 2018 by Shripriya Mahesh (a former eBay executive) and Andrew Parker, backing purpose-led founders using technology to address global challenges in health and longevity, sustainable systems, and how people learn. The firm typically leads or co-leads seed and Series A rounds of $3 to $10 million with an initial check size of $2 to $4 million, and keeps a concentrated, roughly 30-company portfolio so it can stay deeply engaged with each founding team. The team draws on operating experience at companies including Tesla, Stripe and eBay.
