Thatcher Spring
Thatcher Spring is the founder and CEO of GearLaunch, a print-on-demand and end-to-end ecommerce platform he launched in 2013 to give independent online sellers the same backend muscle - manufacturing, fulfillment, payments, and customer service - that big marketplaces take for granted. A Georgetown English major who started a nationally distributed wholesale apparel company right out of college, he detoured through J.P. Morgan, the Mars graduate leadership program, and an MBA at UNC Kenan-Flagler before going back to what he knew best: merchandise and supply chains. GearLaunch raised a $4.8M Series A in 2017 and grew to a few hundred employees, letting creators build custom-product businesses without ever touching inventory.
