Spark Capital

edit

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. Spark Capital hopes to exploit this opportunity by investing in companies that it believes will benefit from the rapid transformation of media and content driven by innovative technologies and evolving business models.
