Spark Capital is a venture fund based in Boston, Massachusetts. Our investment focus is on the conflux of the media, entertainment and technology industries. 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 from the rapid transformation of media and content driven by innovative technologies and evolving business models.

We are natives of the media, entertainment and technology industries. We have been instrumental in the development of new markets and market leaders. Akamai Technologies, CSTV, K12, Qtera, Aether System, Broadbus, thePlatform, Redstone, and Novatel Wireless are just a few of the companies backed by the Spark team. Our partners know what it takes to succeed in the space. We're not just venture capitalists -- although we have generated some of the best returns in the venture industry. We are inventors of EMMY-award winning technology, producers of critically acclaimed films & television shows and have launched revolutionary consumer electronics products. We are former executives of major entertainment, media, and technology companies such as Sony, Time Warner, Blockbuster, Lion's Gate, Apple, and Microsoft.

While we consider ourselves stage-agnostic, no idea is too green for us. We look for experienced entrepreneurs capable of combining revolutionary ideas with a vision for how their products will transform markets with the potential for explosive growth. Spark Partners are active investors and establish a partnership with company management. We are not just board members, we are part of the team.
