/ ABOUT SPARKLAB
Igniting the Entrepreneurial Spirit
SparkLab is our way of paying it forward to students who remind us of ourselves—once sitting in classroom chairs, filled with potential and eager to discover what's next.
What is SparkLab?
SparkLab is an immersive 8-week program developed by SIGU and KMI, designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in high school students. We complement traditional education by offering hands-on experience in business, strategy, and innovation.
Unlike regular classes where you read about business concepts, SparkLab puts you in the driver's seat. You'll work with a team to create a real business idea, develop marketing materials, build financial projections, and pitch to actual industry professionals.
Think of it as a startup accelerator for high schoolers—but with the support, structure, and guidance to help you succeed.
Our Mission
At SparkLab, we empower the next generation of students to become confident leaders and bold changemakers through education, access, and opportunity.
Bridge the Gap
Connect potential with progress by investing in students, ideas, and communities.
Spark Potential
Help students uncover talents and passions they may not have explored yet.
Drive Impact
Create lasting change through strategic, scalable, purpose-driven programs.
Build Community
Connect students with mentors, professionals, and peers who share their vision.
"We believe philanthropy should be strategic, scalable and purpose-driven. That meaningful impact begins with exposure, curiosity and belief."
WHO WE ARE
A Collaborative Initiative by SIGU and KMI
SparkLab is a collaborative initiative between SIGU and KMI, created to ignite purpose, curiosity, and confidence in the next generation of students. We are founders, investors, operators and mentors coming together to create a program inspired by the opportunities that shaped our own journeys.
We believe real-world exposure drives real-world impact. We're not just teaching—we're investing in each student's discovery process, helping them connect with what excites them and what they're capable of achieving.
"We're here to spark more than ideas. We're here to spark potential that lasts a lifetime."
At our core, SparkLab is a bridge between experience and opportunity—built to spark something real.
