✨THE MISSION ✨
25,200 FEMALE FOUNDERS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE SPARK FOUNDERS PROGRAM.
Every NFT sale goes to sponsoring a founder through the 12 week SPARK program - a virtual sales & marketing incubator designed to give female, regional & indigenous founders the tools, network and perks they need to grow their businesses.
The SPARK Founders Program NFT Series is a collection of 25,200 of unique, strong female founders. Each founder not only has a selection of unique attributes but offers the NFT holder perks in the real world.
WHY 25,200?
There are 252 Million female entrepreneurs on the planet… so this is our first milestone to supporting each and every one of them.
SPARK FOUNDER
Danielle Lewis
Danielle Lewis is the founder and CEO of SPARK, which was founded in Brisbane in 2020.
SPARK is designed to support Australian female entrepreneurs in scaling their businesses. It is built on the belief that when women get support, they really can change the world. As the program was delivered and a new wave of COVID hit, it seems imperative that the program not only continue, but widen to include regional founders as well.
Danielle draws from her own experience of a decade building a technology startup (Scrunch) as a female, observing the impact of ‘2020’ on her fellow female entrepreneurs, as well over 15+ years in sales experience for both corporates and startups.
