Summary

Spark Capital is a venture capital firm that invests in startups led by creative thinkers. We partner with entrepreneurs who make products and services for consumers as well as business people. We have offices in SoMA in San Francisco, Astor Place in New York City, and the Back Bay in Boston. Spark Capital was founded ten years ago, and today we invest out of a $450M early-stage venture fund, and a $375M venture growth fund. In total we manage five funds with $2B under management.

At Spark Capital, we take risks on visionary people and products that move us. We look for three things: Founder, Product, and Vision. When we are considering a new opportunity, we spend time using the product and getting to know the founders. We view each product as an extension of the founder and an expression of his or her vision. We aim to be the best, most loyal long-term partner to entrepreneurs. We are founder-first, even when it may not be in our best interest.
