About the Company

Spark builds AI that helps energy infrastructure developers to cut through permitting red tape.

We have processed more than 1 million zoning, permitting, town hall meetings, and project documents across tens of thousands of jurisdictions. With Spark, developers can instantly identify requirements and fatal flaws in seconds, not weeks.

We’re trusted by dozens of industry-leading developers representing over 90 gigawatts of project pipeline and $30 billion in financing.

Spark was founded by product and engineering leaders at Brex, Apple, Microsoft, and the Department of Energy. We're backed by leading investors like AI Grant (Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross), the founder of Brex, Plaid, and others.

Join us to accelerate the energy transition with software.
