Investment thesis

SparkLabs runs a 15-week accelerator program centered on helping early-stage startups discover and refine product-market fit. The program progresses through phases: a bootcamp to analyze the current situation and remove growth obstacles, a core phase to set KPIs and target the next stage of growth, a traction day to assess KPI achievement and complete the IR pitch, and a private demo day for VC meetings. The firm invests across sectors without restriction, including commerce, B2B SaaS, healthcare, gaming, deeptech, foodtech, AI, proptech, and hardware. Investments are typically made via convertible preferred stock or SAFE, usually exceeding 100 million KRW for roughly 6% equity, flexibly adjusted per company.
