Incubation PDF Print E-mail

Spark has created a unique network of relationships with world-class companies, manufacturers and retailers to support new ventures. By leveraging this network we create partnerships that link powerful products with leading manufacturers and massmarket retailers. With these 'power-partners,' we are incubating innovative product concepts to penetrate existing and un-tapped markets. Spark identifies revolutionary opportunities and generates solutions that impact markets and inspire our lives.

Spark was founded on a product development philosophy that has been clearly put into words by Eleven, a successful design office based in Boston:

  • Isolate a low-tech product that currently sells extremely well through retail channels, and improve it. Enrich the product through value-added solutions that are embodied in an aesthetic that makes clear the advancements it offers in terms of intellectual property.
  • Gain an extensive knowledge of the players supplying the world with the selected products.
  • Begin a journey of understanding about the user and how he/she understands the current product offering. When designing your product, go beyond consumers' current knowledge base. Design, test, and dig deeper than almost any client would pay you to do.
  • Sell your intellectual property based on a track record of success and innovation. If you solve both the consumer problems and the corporate problems, you can win at this game. If you reinvent what a corporation is currently selling, it can often make the leap.
