Spark is...

A vibrant community weaving together the realms of financial stewardship, personal well-being, family legacy, and conscious capitalism.

It's a sanctuary where courageous conversations take root, delving into the complexities of wealth, family dynamics, and purpose-driven living—all within a circle of trusted peers.

As a catalyst for growth, Spark provides an environment for continuous learning, skill refinement, and the cultivation of genuine connections.

Moreover, Spark is a pledge to leverage our resources and global networks to encourage positive bias to action.

What sets us apart at Spark is not just what we do, but who we are. Spark members are visionaries, innovators, and leaders who bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the table.

Spark members are multi-generational wealth holders, family office executives, and UHNWIs. They actively allocate across various asset classes and have an interest in personal growth, family office effectiveness, and increasing their family's lasting impact on their communities and the world.

Spark is best suited for individuals of strong character who prioritize authentic human connections, vulnerability, personal growth, and a desire to contribute to a supportive environment. We are a relationship-first community that thrives on members who lead with integrity, embrace vulnerability, and have a collaborative mindset. We seek members whose character shines through their willingness to be present, listen deeply, and cultivate a space of mutual understanding and trust.

The ideal member is someone committed to their own development as an individual, an investor, and as a leader. They should have a genuine interest in learning, expanding their perspectives, and supporting the growth of their peers.

Our community thrives on a spirit of generosity and a willingness to share knowledge, experiences, and insights openly. Members should be prepared to actively participate, contribute their unique perspectives, and engage in meaningful authentic discussions within a confidential and supportive space.

Additionally, we seek individuals who value long-term relationships and are committed to fostering a collaborative environment. Peer-to-peer support, mutual understanding, and a willingness to uplift one another are essential qualities for our community members.

For multiple members from that same family office, the first member pays the standard $6,500 rate, while every additional member will receive a discounted rate of $4,500.

Spouses who wish to attend Spark summits and other Spark events without full membership may do so on a per-event basis, space permitting. This option allows spouses to participate in specific events that interest them without committing to a full membership. The cost for attending events on a per-event basis will be determined based on the specific event.

We believe that strong personal connections lay the foundation for successful collaborations and partnerships. While our members are encouraged to explore business and co-investment opportunities with one another, we prioritize fostering genuine connections and building trust within our community first and foremost.

Integrity and transparency are critically important for our community to flourish. We lead with personal rapport first, allowing business to develop naturally from established trust and mutual interests.

Spark events are generally exclusive to members and pre-approved prospective members who are being considered for an invitation to join our community. This exclusivity allows us to maintain a confidential and intimate environment.

However, we usually host one event per year in each of our hub cities (Denver, Los Angeles, NYC) where members can bring a ("+1").
