My decision to step forward as Lead Investor for Spill on WeFunder directly aligns with this mission. Spill isn't just another social media platform – it's a deliberate response to the systemic inequities we've seen in digital spaces. Founded by Alphonzo Terrell and DeVaris Brown, Spill demonstrates what's possible when we build platforms that prioritize inclusion from the ground up, rather than treating it as an afterthought. What draws me to invest in Spill is its authentic commitment to community ownership and cultural appreciation. In a digital landscape where Black creators and other creators of color frequently see their contributions appropriated without recognition or compensation, Spill has built a model that respects and rewards cultural capital. This investment represents more than a financial decision – it's an investment in a future where digital spaces reflect and respect the full diversity of their users. I've spent years advocating for systemic change in entertainment and media. Now, through Spill, we have the opportunity to reshape how social media serves and supports historically marginalized communities. As Lead Investor, I'm not just backing a platform; I'm supporting a vision of social media that aligns with the values of equity, representation, and authentic community engagement that I've championed throughout my career. I invite you to join me in supporting a platform that's setting a new standard for inclusive digital spaces.","endorsement_name":"","investment_total":1000,"investment_info":"Invested $1,000 this round","is_lead_investor":true,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/april.reign"]}],"investor_memos":[],"tab_counts":{"posts":6,"ask_questions":17,"featured_investors":4,"faq_entries":5},"active_fundraises":[{"id":129824,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:129824","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"ttw","security_type":"","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":true,"min_purchase":250,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":1235000.0,"minimum_target":"50000.0","maximum_target":"1235000.0"},{"id":129823,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:129823","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"safe","security_type":"equity","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":false,"min_purchase":250,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":50000.0,"minimum_target":"50000.0","maximum_target":"1235000.0","funding_started_at":"2025-02-12T00:13:58Z","funding_closed_at":"2026-04-01T03:59:59Z","auto_close_at":"2026-04-01T03:59:59Z"}],"latest_fundraise":{"id":129824,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:129824","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","structure":"ttw","testing_the_waters":true,"can_invest_now":false,"funding_started_at":null,"funding_closed_at":null,"terms":{"eb":null,"nb":"$20M","txt":"valuation cap"}},"recent_posts":[{"id":291450,"entity_id":"wefunder:feed_item:291450","type":"FeedItem::Update","visibility":"public","title":"SPILL \"What's The Tea\" Landmark Research Report","preview":"Friends of SPILL,Proud to share we just published \"What's The Tea,\" a first-of-its-kind research report we produced with Dr. Marcus Collins (University of Michigan, former McCann Chief Strategy Officer).The short version: 1.7M conversations, 200K unique words, 23K+ brand mentions — analyzed from inside a platform built by and for the community being studied.

I'm not saying founders should live on air, but for a startup those numbers seem outrageous - they're ugly any way you look at them. (And according to your campaign page, 50% of the funds raised will go to salaries/hiring.) In short, the compensation scheme strike me as a major impediment to the company's growth.

Re: payroll, our biggest expense is people — product, design, and engineering — because we’re a product-led company building an AI-enabled platform with a lean team doing the work of a much larger org. The “average” figure in our Form C also includes some short-term contractor costs temporarily booked under payroll, so it overstates true salaries, but most early-stage tech companies are spending 50-70% of their annual budgets on salary. That said, we're continuously optimizing our spend having reduced our burn rate by over 40% this year by cutting a large portion of contractor / SAAS costs, as well as founder salaries, and with our impressive revenue traction this year (+300% YoY growth, set to cross $1M), we're on pace to be cashflow positive by Q3 of 2026. Re: growth, we're pacing towards 750,000 downloads as I type this. As our revenue is primarily generated through advertising and market research customers across media, tech, pharma and CPG, there isn't a specific number of users that represents breakeven per se. What matters most, especially as legacy platforms get flooded with AI slop, is that we continue steadily growing and retaining the unique audience we've acquired which larger platforms struggle to target. Regarding an exit, there are three practical pathways for SPILL: 1️⃣ Strategic acquisition by a larger tech, media, or entertainment company; 2️⃣ Independent profitability through ads and creator monetization (target 2026); or 3️⃣ A future public or secondary offering once we’re profitable. I'm personally very bullish on seeing how far SPILL can grow given the stagnation of legacy platforms in the broader social media landscape. Hope that's helpful and let me know if you have any other questions.","author_name":"Alphonzo Terrell","votes":0,"created_at":"2025-10-20T07:57:47Z"}]},{"id":304349,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:304349","question":"Hello Spill Team, I’m Zac Stahlhut with D3VC.

SPILL is focused on solving gnarly problems that both legacy and emerging platforms struggle with: user safety, community building and creator rewards. Safety, in particular, is extremely difficult for platforms to get right if leadership doesn't focus on it from the start (learned this the hard way during my time at Twitter). We've found that a combination of clear-cut policies, proprietary technology and nurturing the community have not only been effective but are self-reinforcing over time (SPILL has to remove 66% less harmful content by percentage than legacy platforms). The net effect for end users is they feel more comfortable on SPILL from the start and the best part is this formula scales as we grow. Platforms that don't do this until they start scaling often struggle to put \"pandora back in the box.\" Community building is also a major differentiator as most of these new platforms are focused purely on content consumption (algos and influencers). While SPILL is a place for self-expression, our appeal for new users is that it's much easier to build new connections (friendships, relationships, affinity groups, etc) vs jumping into scaled platforms that only want you to consume. With safety as the foundation, we more effectively facilitate connections with features like Tea Parties (go live), Groups and hyper-casual games (i.e. Spades, What's The Word). Collectively, these features have lifted our retention rates 300% YoY since launch. Finally, the creator monetization/commerce solutions we'll start rolling out at the back half of this year will build in clear cut ways for community members to earn status and monetary rewards through value creating actions. With these pillars in place, we will cement SPILL as self-sustaining ecosystem where each user builds unique stores of value for themselves over time. This community round, along with additional investment and revenue we have contracted for the year, will give us 18 months of runway to hit our next set of user growth (1M+ signups) and revenue ($2.5M+ annualized revenue) milestones.","author_name":"Alphonzo Terrell","votes":2,"created_at":"2025-03-19T22:46:27Z"}]},{"id":317111,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:317111","question":"Does 12-13% to be spent on customer acquisition seem low?

The reason is network-driven growth (i.e. friends telling friends about SPILL) results in far higher retention than paid acquisition because these users have a connection when they join the platform, vs paid acquisition where they may not yet have one. That fact, along with the fact that organic social content on platforms like TikTok and IG Reels converts to downloads at a higher rate than paid social content on those platforms (if you're good at it, which we are). The proof is in the pudding - with this new strategy, our signups have increased by more than 40% QoQ in four out of the last five quarters. To build on this, we'll be focusing on increasing our social content output with some strategic hiring going into 2026.","author_name":"Alphonzo Terrell","votes":0,"created_at":"2025-10-20T07:32:22Z"}]},{"id":328479,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:328479","question":"Is this funding round closed?
