Miles Spencer

Miles Spencer (born April 30, 1963) is an American angel investor, media entrepreneur and explorer. He is best known for his role as co-host and co-creator of MoneyHunt, a reality-based show where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of experts. MoneyHunt was distributed to PBS stations in the US beginning 1997 and overseas beginning 1999. Spencer and co-creator and co-host Cliff Ennico, a former police reporter for The Herald Statesman (now The Journal News), who had reported on the arrest and life of infamous Son of Sam serial killer David Berkowitz. are known for their direct, fast-paced questioning and constructive criticism of entrepreneurs.

The two co-creator developed the program while stuck in a traffic jam together, after having met in a Connecticut venture group dinner highlighting five top entrepreneurs. The show is considered the original program of the genre, and has been copied in several markets worldwide, most notably Dragons' Den and Shark Tank.

Spencer, who was born in Norristown, PA, readily admits in his book MoneyHunt to having been inspired by Enterprise, a French show hosted by Bernard Tapie, while he attended school there in the early eighties as an exchange student from Choate Rosemary Hall.
