Where campus ventures
find their people
Sparkline is the platform universities run their entrepreneurial ecosystem on. One place for the roster, the ventures, the groups, the events, and the conversations between them.
Platform
Built around how ecosystems actually run
Every surface exists because an operator, a founder, or a member needed it.
Curated ecosystems
Each university runs its own gated ecosystem. People, ventures, and tags never cross from one into another.
Ventures and stages
A venture carries its team, its stage history, and its awards. Its stage is a fact about the venture, never a label on a person.
Groups and cohorts
Run accelerators, mentor pods, and cohorts as groups. Membership, applications, and check-ins live in one place.
Opportunities and events
Post venture roles, funding opportunities, and events to the ecosystem. People apply and RSVP without leaving the platform.
Messaging
Direct and group threads between founders, members, and mentors. Starting a conversation takes one click, not a request.
Scoped by the database
Row-level security decides who sees what on every query. Isolation between ecosystems is enforced below the app, not by it.
Process
From invite to venture team
Four steps, and none of them is a form you fill in twice.
01
Get invited
An operator invites you, or you apply through your ecosystem’s public intake form.
02
Claim your account
Set a password and your invite becomes a real login. Your roster profile is already waiting.
03
Bring your venture
Apply with your venture; approval creates it with you on its team. Being on a venture team is what makes you a Founder here.
04
Do the work
Apply to groups, RSVP to events, post opportunities, and keep your check-ins current.
Roles
A place for every role
What you can do follows from where you stand in the ecosystem.
Founder
You are on a venture team. Run your venture page, post opportunities, and apply to groups.
Member
You are in the ecosystem without a team yet. Browse ventures, respond to opportunities, apply to groups, and find the one you want to build.
Operator
You run the ecosystem. Review intake, manage the roster and groups, publish events, and see the whole picture.
Ready when your ecosystem is
Create your account, claim your invite, and pick up where your ecosystem left off.
