Meet the Founder

You're not just investing in a startup, but in the passionate founder behind it.

In January 2025, Spence founded CoopWise after experiencing firsthand the frustrations of backyard chicken keeping. As a non-technical solo founder with a newfound passion for raising chickens, he spent countless hours researching best practices, troubleshooting issues, and seeking community support.

"I quickly realized there was a significant gap in the market. Existing apps weren't addressing the real challenges backyard chicken keepers face daily. The information was scattered across forums, YouTube videos, and outdated websites."

Determined to solve this problem not just for himself but for the growing community of backyard chicken enthusiasts, Spence set out to create CoopWise—a comprehensive, user-friendly solution that combines practical tools, community wisdom, and innovative technology.

"CoopWise isn't just an app—it's a mission to make sustainable living more accessible and enjoyable for everyone."
