Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNelson Spencer is an AI-native product founder and advisor with 11 years of experience turning messy real-world problems into production internal tools, automations, and agent-driven workflows that cut busywork and scale teams. As founder of Augi Ventures and a fractional product engineer, he leads end-to-end discovery, AI-first UX design, and full-stack builds—examples include a React/TypeScript recruiting platform that saved 15+ weekly hours and a WhatsApp AI prototype for international field ops. He partners with founders and HR/People-focused startups on product–market fit and go-to-market strategy, and runs hands-on enablement—diagnostics, workshops, and multi-day working sessions—that make AI adoption practical. His background spans leading people analytics at Figma and Sonos to analytic roles in sports and media, giving him an uncommon mix of product, data, and people strategy expertise. Based in New York and an MBA candidate at Columbia Business School, he blends operator rigor with venture and accelerator experience to advise early-stage teams and funds. A detail not obvious from titles: he repeatedly embeds AI into everyday workflows (Slack, WhatsApp, custom APIs) rather than treating AI as an abstract capability.
