Founded by James Bender and Khalil Simmons
A networking app that shows you who else is at the event or the venue you're in and why they've come, so you can walk over rather than open a message thread.
Spark has no chat, by design, so the conversation has to happen in person.
Professionals at conferences, bars, rooftops, gyms and coffee shops, starting in Chicago and New York.
The founders call it the world's first and only chat-less social connection app.
Contributions go into the fund that writes them. If Spark exits one day, our share comes back to the fund and goes out again, which is what makes us an evergreen fund.
Two taps call 911 and send your location, medical details and a recording, for when you can't speak.
Plans a real outing and puts you in a small group of compatible strangers, so you don't show up alone.
Finds the restaurant, books the table and pays the bill, and sends a cut of every transaction to local food banks.
Updates on the founders we back and the work behind the checks.
