What is Spark?

In this article, we introduce you to Spark Lund and how we can help you take the first steps in creating the company you have always dreamed about.

Spark is a project that aims to foster entrepreneurship and innovation among LU students. The concept is simple: if you have an idea, regardless of how developed it is, how much time you have spent on it, or if you have any co-founders, the coaches at Spark will help you take the first steps in your entrepreneurial journey. We offer guidance and access to our wide range of resources, experience, and connections. The coaches at Spark Lund are all students in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation master's program with a strong determination to help fellow students looking to start a business. Our diverse academic backgrounds and networks ensure that we can provide you with the tools necessary to make your entrepreneurial dreams a reality.

Simply put, you can meet a coach and discuss your ideas, ambitions, challenges, and opportunities, as well as receive advice from other aspiring entrepreneurs. We can guide you through the vast - and occasionally complex - Lund innovation ecosystem: a plethora of incubators, accelerators, and potential investors who can represent valuable resources for your project. 

Entrepreneurship is not an easy and quiet path. The process can be challenging, especially for first-time entrepreneurs or people with no prior experience in start-ups. Needless to say, this is the case for most students. Hence, we can help you with your business idea and teach you what makes an idea a potentially successful venture. We can help you explore suitable business models for your venture and how to make it feasible and financially viable. Our coaches can also help you find funding if you need capital. We are also used to pitching our ideas and can give you advice and some help to communicate your business idea to others. These are only a few examples of how Spark could help you take the first steps to launch your own business.

Unlike any other incubator, we keep our coaching friendly and casual. Pedagogy, support, and innovation are our core values. Our mission is to empower students to choose a career in entrepreneurship and bring the ideas of tomorrow to life. Spark is run by students, for students. We want to help students spark their ideas by giving them the tools they need. SPARK aims at giving every student the chance to bring ideas into reality. So do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Best,

Team Spark
