A Message From Our Founder: Our Story

Welcome to SparkTank, the next generation entrepreneurship accelerator dedicated to empowering a global community that will create and lead the next generation of billion-dollar companies. As a student at the NYU Stern School of Business, I've always been driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. The thought of launching my own startup to leave my mark on the world excited me, but I realized the journey wouldn't be easy. I faced the daunting challenge of limited resources and a lack of mentorship, hindering my ability to bring my ideas to life.This realization that I was not the only aspiring entrepreneur facing these obstacles and that age should not be a barrier surfaced in an unwavering determination to remove the systematic barriers that prevent passionate individuals like you and me from pursuing our entrepreneurial dreams. So, SparkTank was born: A groundbreaking accelerator designed to empower Gen Z with the knowledge, tools, resources, and guidance needed to design, launch, and scale their own unicorn startups of their dreams.

At SparkTank, we understand that the path to success is not a solitary one. It's about building a supportive community, fostering collaboration, and tapping into the expertise of seasoned entrepreneurs and industry professionals. By providing access to a robust network of mentors, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs, we believe we can bridge the gap between ambition and achievement. Our mission is to prepare Gen Z to become confident, articulate, and inspired entrepreneurs and leaders ready to take charge of their future and make their impact on society. We want to equip you with the skills to navigate the ever-evolving business landscape, adapt to change, and thrive in the face of challenges.
