Doug Griffin

About

Doug Griffin is a venture investor and startup ecosystem contributor serving as Founder and Managing Partner at Spatial Capital. Doug brings approximately 30 years of experience in computer vision, AI, and company building. He founded four technology companies and achieved three exits, including acquisitions by Apple and Roblox. The role provides direct exposure to how investors assess teams, markets, differentiation, traction, and a company’s ability to grow beyond its initial market. In practice, that perspective connects founder quality, market evidence, investment fit, and the long-term work required to build a company that investors can continue supporting. Doug is particularly relevant to conversations around fundraising readiness, investor decision-making, venture-scale growth, and the signals that help founders build conviction with capital partners.
