John Spencer

John Spencer is publicly identifiable in campaign-finance records as a finance professional affiliated with Palisades Capital. A 2014 federal campaign-contribution record lists “SPENCER, JOHN” of Dunkirk, Maryland, with employer “Palisades Capital” and occupation “Finance.”

The Palisades Capital entity connected to the phone number in the stub appears to be Palisades Capital Advisors, LLC, a Washington, DC financial-services firm registered in DC in 2008. Public business-directory records list Palisades Capital Advisors at Washington, DC addresses, including 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW and 2050 K Street NW, with phone number (202) 638-2171.

Palisades Capital has also been described in public biographical materials for its co-founder Bradley Belt as a “boutique restructuring advisory and investment firm.” PCA Partners, the successor/related brand shown at pcapension.com, is described as formerly known as Palisades Capital Advisors and focused on transactions and consulting for corporate sponsors of defined-benefit pension plans and other post-employment liabilities.

• Publicly available sources do not verify a seed-stage angel-investing thesis for John Spencer specifically.
• The verified Palisades Capital / PCA Partners context points to pension-related transactions, restructuring advisory, and consulting rather than a conventional venture-capital fund strategy.
• Because the available sources tie Spencer to “Palisades Capital” and “Finance,” but not to a public startup portfolio or published angel-investing mandate, founders should treat any “seed round” or “angel investor” categorization as unverified unless confirmed directly.
