Published work
Writing as Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer, Spitzer authored Building the First VC AI Agent, dated 17 September 2026 on Glilot Capital's site. In the piece he described an operational challenge in which institutional knowledge was fragmented across the firm's relationship management platform and internal chat tools, creating data quality issues. Spitzer wrote, "While human relationships remain the heartbeat of venture capital, the industry relies heavily on vast datasets." He noted that critical information from pitch decks and legal documents to meeting notes and market trends is often siloed across multiple systems.
