At SparkShop, we enable students to utilize their skills in tackling engineering challenges and recognize the significance of their contributions to the STEM fields. Our main focus is on inspiring fourth and fifth-grade students through visits from our team of engineers and an interconnected curriculum for their teachers.

About FundedIQ's SparkShop Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for SparkShop is left off this page rather than filled in.
