Our story

Small business
is personal.

Hi, I'm Spencer Oliver.

I grew up in small business. My career has taken me into leading global technology firms, where I've worked with world-class digital product teams. Now I'm bringing that experience back to the small-business community.

Founder, Runmode

Where it started

On the road with my dad.

My dad co-founded Stick by Stan Bat Co., and I traveled the country with him. I watched him manage the books, keep supplies moving, look after employees, and market the business. I saw how much depended on one person keeping track of everything.

  • The books

  • Supplies

  • Employees

  • Marketing

That experience stayed with me. I'm building Runmode to give owners a clearer view of their business: a daily briefing, timely alerts, and recommendations that help them decide what to do next.

Built together

A team that has built large, secure systems, now building for owners.

I'm building this alongside co-founders who bring deep engineering and operating experience. We're bringing that expertise to tools small-business owners can rely on.

Co-founder

Operating leadership

Has run a $1 billion data and technology P&L and served at the board level of a listed company. He knows what a real decision costs.

Co-founder

Engineering

Led a 1,000+ person engineering organization and built data platforms that bring together hundreds of sources securely and reliably.

Co-founder

Business transformation

Has spent a career rebuilding how companies operate, untangling systems, processes, and data so leaders can decide.

Built around the owner.
