CULTURES + VALUES

SparkNet is based on trust and collaboration between like-minded individuals who share intensity, passion and a drive to succeed. We believe in following dreams and are committed to serious play! In this never-ending process we learn from our mistakes and “fail forward”. We foster openness and transparency within our team, even when this means “messiness” and working through constructive conflict.

ORIGIN OF OUR NAME

SparkNet is a reference back to times when the hearth was the center of every home. A fireguard, known as a ‘curfew’ (a corruption of the French ‘covre feu’), was used to cover the fire embers at night, preserving the fire until morning. In the same way, our organizational purpose is to protect and cultivate those sparks of innovation.
