About SPARK

Real connections, by design.

SPARK is the premium real-world social network for friendship, dating, activities and professional connections. Whether you are looking for a relationship, a new circle of friends, a co-founder, a mentor or someone to join you for dinner, SPARK turns shared intent into a real meeting. The app is free and membership is optional. Not another app to scroll.

Intentional

We design for real-world meaning over endless matching. The room is the product.

Real people

Clear profiles, clear intent and respectful conduct. Trust is the foundation of every SPARK room.

Human

Character over titles. We build a community that is respectful, welcoming and genuinely useful.

SPARK began with a simple belief: life’s greatest opportunities — a co-founder, an investor, a mentor, a lifelong friend — begin with a single introduction. Yet the tools built to connect us made connection shallower. So we built the opposite.

Our standards

Rooms are curated, not crowdsourced. Venues are chosen with care. We keep the bar high because exceptional communities do not happen by accident.

Where we are

SPARK is live in New Zealand and Thailand, on the ground in Auckland and Bangkok. Your city next.

The Founder

Sunny Khurana, founder and CEO of SPARK

One suitcase. Five rebuilds.

Sunny Khurana left Auckland in November 2023 with one suitcase and a conviction: that swipe-based platforms were profiting from loneliness rather than solving it. He sold property at a loss to fund the runway, rebuilt the product five times, and grew SPARK in Bangkok.

Now live in New Zealand, SPARK's first Western market, alongside Thailand. Australia is a candidate expansion market once Auckland proves the commercial playbook.
