Summary
Spencer Wilson is a founder and multidisciplinary engineer with a decade of experience building hardware-driven products at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and applied math. Trained at MIT, Cambridge, Imperial and UCL (PhD work in neuroscience), he has moved between hands-on research roles at MIT Media Lab and CTRL-labs and product leadership at Trisk Bio before launching FourFour Labs and a fund. He combines deep technical rigor—mechanical design, machine learning research, and experimental neuroscience—with product sensibility for turning lab prototypes into investable ventures. Notably, his background spans classic internal combustion vehicle builds to cutting-edge neural interface research, reflecting an unusual blend of analog craft and computational modeling. Based in London, he thrives on projects that require both physical intuition and mathematical formalism to bridge research and commercialization.
