???? ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Spencer. I co-founded Solo Stove. A DTC e-commerce brand that we started as a side hustle in a garage with 15K. We sold Solo Stove to private equity a couple times. After acquiring a few brands in 2021, Solo Brands grew out of Solo Stove, raised $219M through an IPO (NYSE: DTC) and reached a valuation over $2 BILLION dollars! Now I'm focused on creating content to help educate and inspire other budding entrepreneurs.
