Why founders choose L‑SPARK
“They were able to tailor the advice for us, depending on the stage of the company. They really do care about the companies.”
Co-founder + CEO, Shippie Technologies Inc.
“The L-SPARK SaaS accelerator took Corfix from a great idea to a thriving and rapidly expanding tech company. Getting to work directly with industry leaders and visionaries gave us an arsenal of new proficiencies and the confidence to apply them. In only six months they taught us everything we needed to know to grow our business, as we increased our MRR by 750% and tripled our team during their mentorship. The value of this program cannot be overstated, and will continue to manifest in our future success.”
CEO & Founder of Corfix

Founder + CEO, Nexxt Intelligence
“L-SPARK was an instrumental source of honest scrutiny for our core assumptions around positioning, fundraising, and scaling the business. Our mentors’ advice and guidance were critical in reinforcing our base foundation so it could be built on at scale. L-SPARK also provided linkages to a great network of industry experts, key technology players, and other fantastic start-ups, which has proven invaluable in our market exposure and business development initiatives.”

“Thanks to our experience with L-SPARK, we were able to meet the needs of our investors. These requirements included knowing how to create a strong pitch deck, a succinct pitch, a sound financial plan, and a supporting growth strategy. We used these skills while pitching to numerous Angel networks across Ontario, and were able to close a seed investment. This capital has been crucial for our continued growth, resulting in year-over-year revenue growth of 300%.”
