Our Story
Where we met
Before there was a product,
there was a question.
What if going out felt intentional?
We met, sat down, and started sketching.
Not features.
Not dashboards.
Just a better way to experience a Friday night.
That first drawing wasn't perfect.
But it was clear.
People don't want more apps.
They want better nights.
So, we decided to build one.

Who We Serve
We serve two sides.
Students who want to know what's worth their time. Not a paragraph. Not a flyer. Just the signal.
And we serve business owners and event operators who want real data on who's showing up, when they're arriving, how long they stay, and what's actually driving traffic.
Most platforms are built for posting. We're built for movement.
If you go out. If you host events. If you run a bar. You're who this is for.

How We Operate
We start with people.
We test in the real world.
We listen.
We adjust.
We do it again.
We don't care about big download numbers.
We care about what people actually do.
Because when something becomes part of your Friday,
it's not an app anymore.
It's a movement.

The Roadmap
Right now, we're focused on one thing:
Making Social Spark the most accurate real-time social layer on campus.
That means:
- Better crowd signals
- Better forecasting
- Better event integration
- More useful analytics for businesses
- More reasons for users to open the app weekly
Long term, this expands beyond one campus, one city, one market.
But first we win where we stand.

What I Do at Social Spark
I'm the founder of Social Spark, and I spend my time building the live decision layer for going out. I work across product, growth, and marketplace strategy, making sure what we build changes how students decide where to be on a Friday night. From real-time crowd signals to campus expansion to business analytics, I focus on turning social behavior into real data and real data into momentum. My job is simple: make going out smarter, more visible, and way more fun.
About Me
I'm obsessed with building things that live in the real world, not just on screens. I love marketplaces, network effects, and watching ideas turn into movements. I move fast, learn by doing, and care a lot about building something that lasts. When I'm not thinking about product, I'm thinking about how to create culture, density, and leverage in ways most people overlook. Social Spark isn't just an app to me; it's a way of life. Also, Jordi Cassar can destroy me in basketball.
