Spark Wave is a Startup FoundryStartup Foundry
Definition: A startup that starts startups. Think of it like a startup accelerator mixed with VC where they generate, validate, and build initial ideas and then find outside entrepreneurs to come in and run the company, though the business model varies a lot.
I currently work as an internal Behavioral Product Strategy consultant for Spark Wave and its portfolio companies.

Spencer Greenberg is the CEO and Founder of Spark Wave, and is my boss for my work there.
He has been an incredibly positive influence on my life. I first heard him on a podcast episode of Action Design Radio and thought to myself, "oh my gosh, I need to talk to him. He thinks how I think and how I aspire to think." He runs a behavioral science based Startup Foundry. How cool is that? As I describe in Hyper learning, that is an ultimate ambition of... that applies social science, strategic thinking, and iterative experimentation to create socially beneficial software companies from scratch.
Our main operations include building products and conducting social science research to support those products. I serve as a behavioral product strategist for them, enabling the leaders of each of the portfolio products to incorporate intentional behavioral influence into their products.
