Find your Spark by getting lost.
From spark to startup — We help young founders turn their spark into legacy.
We don’t fund decks. We fund obsessions
1968
Mother of All Demos - It opened the line of 'expressing ideas through code and interface', the most primitive intersection of creativity and technology

1981
MTV - It brought the ability of 'technology as a cultural amplifier' into the public eye, marking the beginning of 'identity shaping through content'

2005
YC - It represented the moment when 'entrepreneurship became an expression form', marking the peak of the generation of builders

2025
Spark Lab is the natural next step in this evolution: everyone becomes a spark - telling their story through the products they create.

Spark is the fire buried deep inside you.
It's not divine inspiration, a childhood calling, or the next big trend. It's the spark you stumble upon after countless moments of real exploration, hands-on practice, and conscious detours. When you find it, you'll know: It isn't imposed by the outside world — it's the world you long to build, the thing you feel compelled to do. You ignite yourself — and in doing so, you ignite the world.
Building is the journey of externalizing your inner world and past experiences.
True, lasting drive comes from discovering an inner sense of mission. Entrepreneurship isn't just about solving market problems — It's a tangible expression of the founder's past experiences and personal agency. The most moving startups often begin with a deep obsession with a possibility that won't let go. Spark is the origin of all motivation — Not born out of a desire for success, But out of a sense of necessity.
A spark needs soil — a place that holds both divergence and ignition.
A spark never appears out of nowhere. It needs space to be allowed, Room for detours, trial and error, and honest reflection. What we truly lack is a real and free environment: A place where you can slow down, get lost, and realign with what matters. A fertile ground where sparks can be discovered, ignited, and built upon. We'll stand with you as you answer the earliest and most essential question: What are you willing to burn for? And what keeps the fire going — is being surrounded by others who are also burning. You are not walking alone. You are beside a fire, Surrounded by wild founders, Turning your spark into reality.
What is Spark Lab?
Spark Lab is an accelerator — just not the kind you’re used to. We’re not YC 2.0. Not a pitch school. Not a startup factory. Spark Lab has never been just a “program” or a “project.” We're the home for artists, hackers, and builders chasing their spark — and building from it, for life. We are a tech-culture media studio, a talent accelerator, and a lifelong founder mafia. Early-stage investing is our business model. We exist for those who treat their life as creative material, and who insist on building the future at their own rhythm.

Empowering young people to build the world they want to see.
Accelerating a renaissance where building is the language — and humanity is the destination.
Everything Begins With A Spark
We are building the rails so the brightest rebels can ride at lightspeed. If the timeline above excites you more than it scares you, you’re already one of us.
