In this week’s episode, we sit down with Spencer Gordon Sand, the mastermind behind Spencer Ventures. Before launching Spencer Ventures, Spencer was a competitive fencer, Magic the gathering player, and startup enjoyooor.
We dive into Spencer’s investment thesis behind NFTs and how his fund invests, finding and buying distressed assets in a bear market , point farming optimization, a peak behind the 3AC liquidation and dickbutt buys, and so much more.
