Sep 21, 2022

On this episode of Investor Connect, Hall welcomes Adam Spector, Co-founder, and COO of AbstractOps.

Located in San Francisco, CA, AbstractOps automates all the key aspects of running a startup. This includes covering the Human Resources (HR) function, documents & contracts, financial (such as payments, taxes, and accounting), and compliance/regulatory. AbstractOps combines everything into a single platform tied to the best 3rd party software platforms in the world (such as Gusto, Carta, Quickbooks, and more), which means that with a single click of a button, a user can now automate processes end-to-end that would otherwise take dozens of steps.

Adam Spector is a 3x founder, angel investor in a dozen unicorns, and a GP in a VC fund. 

Prior to his current company, he worked in product at Twitter with a focus on APIs. His prior startup, LiftIgniter, was a machine learning personalization company acquired by Maven. He also led sales & GTM activity at Datalogue, an ETL machine learning business acquired by Nike. 

He has focused his investing activities on game-changing startups with driven, dedicated founders. Some of his best investments to date include: BetterUp (executive coaching), Human Interest (401ks), Diamond Foundry (synthetic diamonds), Checkr (background checks), Zoox (self-driving cars), Relativity Space (3d printed rockets), PayJoy (loans), Ginkgo Bioworks, Jet.com, Blockfi, August Smart Lock, Certn, Boom Supersonic, On Deck, Equi, Placer.ai, Inversion Space, Attentive and many others.

With his team member, Adam is the General Partner of the Operator Fund, which invests in early-stage startups with a relationship to AbstractOps.
