Built for startups, investors, corporates, and ecosystem enablers, Spark transforms events into data-driven experiences that deliver measurable value before, during, and after each interaction.
Born in Africa and built for global scale, Spark provides the foundational infrastructure that powers investor matching, sponsor visibility, and real-time ecosystem analytics across some of the continent’s leading gatherings, including the Africa Startup Festival and Africa Technology Expo.
The problem we're solving
In emerging markets, events are central to ecosystem building, yet they are often fragmented, manually run, and disconnected from long-term outcomes. There’s limited visibility on who met whom, what follow-ups occurred, or which startup truly stood out.
Spark was created to solve this gap. We provide the technology that makes meaningful connections possible and measurable, with AI that understands who should meet, when, and why.
