- Spark Angels

Spark Angels is an angel investor group designed to activate and equip a new generation of investors. The formation of the group began when Ferengul, an experienced angel investor, identified untapped potential in Arizona and discussed it with Kiven, who then connected him with Pacheco, a prominent figure in Arizona's business and startup community. The firm unites new and seasoned investors, providing them with the knowledge, network, and confidence to invest in early-stage companies. Spark Angels' business model is centered on a group approach, creating a collective brain trust for its portfolio companies. This provides startups with strategic guidance from a diverse group of investors. The firm charges an annual membership fee of $5,000, which grants access to the network, and takes 7% of the total capital invested for operational, legal, and accounting services. Spark Angels focuses on investing in visionary founders at the pre-seed and seed stages who have a working minimum viable product (MVP) and early signs of market validation. While its core mission is to build Arizona into a technology hub, the group invests in exceptional teams nationwide. Target industries include Software, Disruptive AI, Marketing Technology, Healthcare Technology, Government Technology, and Sports Technology. Portfolio companies receive more than just capital; they gain access to a dedicated group of investors whose collective experience provides strategic guidance to foster growth.
