Former Twitter Employee’s Startup Spill on Track to Exceed $1M in Revenue

Are you ready to step into the future of social media? Because it’s time to meet Spill, the trailblazing app giving its users a chance to taste the success. The brilliant minds behind this innovation? Alphonzo “Phonz” Terrell and DeVaris Brown, both Twitter alumni. Isn’t that impressive?

Picture this—it’s 2022, and Terrell is handed those dreaded pink slips in the wake of Elon Musk’s grand takeover of the platform now known as X. Brown, on the other hand, had moved on from the company two years prior. Rising from the ashes of that disruption, they followed a personal calling—to build a platform from scratch that would support their colleagues and the community. Now that’s what you call turning a setback into a comeback!

Terrell, a non-technical founder, candidly admitted on the “Black Tech Green Money” podcast, “It was definitely a beast of a challenge.” But, as we all know, a lofty mountain merely gives us a higher summit to conquer, right? Terrell added, “We had to adopt a mindset of gritty determination. We knew we’d have to move heaven and earth to bring this to life, whether we raised a dollar or not.”

And guess what? That spirit, that relentless drive has been contagious. It’s what drew people to Spill—it acted like a magnet. Now that’s an inspiring story of resilience and gumption worth sharing, don’t you think?
