Transforming ground-breaking ideas into market-leading companies is our passion. We pride ourselves on having the vision, knowledge, relationships and creativity to give our companies the advantage they need to win. With a combined century of building and backing industry leaders in media, entertainment and technology, we act as a partner to our entrepreneurs as they strive for leadership and success.

Our main investment focus is on the conflux on media, entertainment and technology. Over the last decade, telecom, wireless and cable operators have spent enormous amounts of capital building up their broadband infrastructure. The next decade will be spent monetizing this infrastructure. We will exploit this opportunity by investing in companies that we believe will benefit the most from the rapid transformation of media and content driven by innovative technologies and evolving business models.

While we consider ourselves stage-agnostic, no idea is too green for us. We look for experienced entrepreneurs who combine revolutionary ideas with a vision for how their products will change or create markets with potential for explosive growth. We take an active role in the companies we back, most often taking a seat on the board of directors, and working to ensure that the vision of the entrepreneur reaches its fullest potential.

Our partners know what it takes to succeed in this space. We're not just venture capitalists -- although we do have track records of generating some of the best returns in the venture industry.

We are natives of the media, entertainment and technology industries. We have been instrumental in the development of new markets and market leaders. We are former film and television executives with experience in the development, production and distribution of entertainment. Akamai Technologies, Qtera, Aether System and Novatel Wireless are just a few of the companies backed by the Spark team. We are inventors of EMMY-award winning technology. We hail from entertainment and media companies including Blockbuster, Lions Gate Entertainment, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Turner Network Television. We leverage the collective know-how and resources we gained every day for the companies we back.

Furthermore, our team approach allows us to deliver a myriad of experience and relationships to our portfolio companies. Spark is uniquely qualified to help young and growing companies to reach their potential in the converging media, entertainment and technology markets.
