What makes L‑SPARK unique?
We're hyper-personalized to you
No two founders will experience our program the same because instead of telling you where you need to be, we meet you where you ARE and help you get where you want to be – based on the support you need in real time. We focus on your current issues and help you move the needle. It’s strategic and ultra-personalized.
It's bi-directional
Along with being hyper-personalized, it’s also a bi-directional program. This means the more you put in, the more you’ll get out. Kind of like the scrappier you are, the more you lean in, the more we do the same. We’re a team of enthusiastic problem solvers, and we want to help you run as fast as you can – so the more you can give us to help you do that, the more we do to help make it happen.
Our mentors have all done it before
We pair you up with a strategic and dedicated mentor who’s been in your shoes. They’re guiding you based on learned experience, and there’s nothing more valuable than that when it comes to a mentor.
We're high touch, low volume
We only take 6-8 companies per cohort so that we can dedicate as much time as possible with each of our cohort companies. Being able to deliver on our core values: Dedication, Value, and Impact, means having the time to devote to your growth and success. We don’t mess around when it comes to that.
