Spark SC

We fuel entrepreneurial-thought & action @USC. Building opportunities for makers, creatives, technologists, & academics of all kinds.

Met students from @gosparksc on their semesterly bay area trip to visit startups. I’m lucky to have been part of this community.

Everyone is infinitely curious and passionate despite inevitable uncertainty that naturally comes with high aspirations.

Spark SC is a hidden hub of innovation, where eventual founders, developers, and artists grow and learn. Many alumni end up going through YC, making industry-defining products like the Vision Pro, and even creating popular comic book series.

When driven and supportive people come together, amazing things tend to happen.

Hello, is this thing on?
Oh sorry — I was just sweeping all the dust off.
It's been 3 years?! Wow, there's a lot to catch up on.

Spark is still: sparkling
Entrepreneurship is still: expanding
& USC is still: expensive

Also, S24 applications are out. https://t.co/B3h115vlBr 😌
