Rob Gearing, CEO of Spartan Precision, has joined as the lead investor in Topple’s latest funding round. As the founder of one of the most respected brands in precision shooting systems, Gearing is no stranger to the challenges hunting and firearms brands face with online censorship. His company, Spartan Precision, has pioneered innovative solutions for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide, and now Gearing is backing the go-to advertising platform for conservative, firearms, and hunting-friendly brands.

Gearing was selected by Topple’s leadership team as the lead investor in this round, a position of both influence and endorsement. As a respected voice in the hunting community and a firsthand witness to online censorship, Gearing’s support represents a powerful alignment with Topple’s mission and now, for as little as $100, We the People can invest in the future of free-speech and independent media.

A Free-Speech Alternative to Google Ads

Topple’s free-speech digital advertising platform is like Google Ads but without policies that block hunting, shooting sports, and conservative brands. Through Topple’s self-serve platform, brands like Spartan Precision, Magpul, and Beretta access a single interface to reach engaged audiences across thousands of placements on sites like The Daily Caller, AR15.com, Ammoland, Major League Fishing, and more—offering the contextual relevance of site-direct buys with the scale and efficiency of a one-stop programmatic advertising portal.

Why Gearing is Investing in Topple

Rob Gearing, known for sharing his global hunting adventures on Instagram, is the innovative mind behind Spartan Precision’s advanced shooting system, offering more than just bipods and tripods for any shooting condition. Gearing was chosen as the lead investor in Topple’s current round as a trusted voice in the hunting community and has experienced firsthand what it’s like to have his company censored by BigTech.

His $50,000 investment in Topple underscores his commitment to giving silenced brands equal access in digital advertising and empowering independent media with the resources needed to challenge mainstream narratives.

“As the CEO of Spartan Precision, I’ve faced the challenges of being blocked by mainstream advertising platforms,” Gearing shared. “Topple has helped us reach millions of shooting sports enthusiasts and hunters worldwide, offering a fair shot to brands like ours that are often restricted. Their commitment to free speech and their rapid growth make them a game-changer in performance marketing for our industry. I’m proud to invest in Topple and support their mission to create a more open and competitive ad market.”

You Can Invest in the Future of Free Speech—Starting at $100

With investments starting as low as $100, Topple’s current funding round is accessible to anyone, breaking the barrier to early-stage investment typically reserved for institutional investors.

“I believe early-stage investment opportunities in high-growth companies like Topple shouldn’t be reserved just for billionaires and the ultra-rich,” said Brian Aitken, Founder and CEO of Topple. “That’s why we’ve opened this fundraising round so anyone can invest with as little as $100, joining top venture capitalists and business leaders like Pete Brownell and Rob Gearing in defending American values and building a more open advertising market.”

Join Topple’s Mission and Invest in a Freer Future for Advertising

This open investment opportunity enables supporters of free speech and free enterprise to join a rapidly growing platform that has scaled top-line revenue 14x between 2021 and 2023, with continued growth through 2024.
