Sr. Reverse Recruiter & Career Coach at Find My Profession
My name is Steven Lowell, a Reverse Recruiter and Career Coach with Find My Profession. I am in my 50's, happily married, deal with Epilepsy, and managed to find jobs in 6 industries across 4 continents, as well as traveled the United States by bus to learn more about the people in the United States. I have been on this search to discover why I exist and the true meaning of success. I am a student of life. I know more than meets the eye. I am that guy in New York City, who always gets stopped by tourists to ask for directions, but you can also drop me in any country in the world and I will look like a local. I always help others. I was born and raised a NYC-native. I love people, diversity, honesty, loyalty, and learning. I am in an interracial marriage to my wife, Wendy, since 2007. And know everything about traveling, pizza, all things technology, writing, blogging, talent sourcing, resume writing, job searching, job boards, community management, customer service, hockey, golf, teaching, and talking to people from around the world. I am not your typical, rule-following person. My career has involved thinking outside the box, traveling, getting startups off the ground, and never turning down a really good challenge.

Managing Consultant and CEO at spectup
If you’re here, you’re probably curious about who I am and what we do at spectup. Let me fill you in. I started my career with a banking apprenticeship, thinking I’d spend my life crunching numbers. But then I discovered startups—and everything changed. At N26, the fintech unicorn, I got my first taste of the fast-paced world of innovation. I fell in love with the chaos, creativity, and energy. After that, I joined Civey, where I dove into digital market research, business models, and marketing strategies. Then came Deutsche Bahn, where I worked on international expansion, competitor analysis, and market strategies. I learned how to make sense of complex industries (global transport markets, anyone?) and drive growth. At diffferent (yes, that’s how it’s spelled), I helped brands like Audi and Zalando identify growth opportunities and design innovative business strategies. And at Deloitte’s Innovation & Ventures team, I worked on building future-proof businesses with cutting-edge tech. One highlight? Leading 30+ projects at the BMW Startup Garage, helping startups find their place in the world of mobility. That’s where I saw the real power of connecting startups with the right partners. Now, I’m building spectup. We work with growth-stage companies and select early-stage startups, helping them raise capital, connect with the right investors, and position themselves for long-term success. We also work with investors—PEs, VCs, angels, and family offices—helping them find promising, vetted companies to invest in without spending countless hours on due diligence. Why? Because startups fail too often, and investors waste too much time looking for the right opportunities. We’re here to bridge that gap. Whether you’re a founder looking for investors or an investor seeking quality opportunities, spectup is about making those connections—and making them work.
