Jesse Morris (center) emails, “Tyler Jenks ’12 (left), Benjamin Wald ’09 (right), and I met at Babson and were brothers in Sigma Phi Epsilon. We reconvened in 2012 after Tyler founded Spartan Systems, a technology development and innovation company that builds software applications for corporations and startups. Today, Chattanooga, Tenn.-based Spartan has 30 employees across the U.S. Our accelerator, Spartan Ventures, which emerged by engaging startups in an equity-for-service model, has a portfolio of startups and wholly owned technologies. Spartan Ventures currently is raising its first fund to build startup tech platforms.”
