    Revolutionizing EV Charging with a SPARK

    Founded by Joshua Aviv in his dorm room at Syracuse University, SparkCharge is the world’s first mobile on-demand EV charging network, making charging electric vehicles easy, mobile, and convenient. On this episode of Uplifting Conversations, Toussaint chats with Joshua and SparkCharge Investors, Tale Venture Partners Founders Ed Jean-Louis and Michael Young, about the SparkCharge Founder’s story, their journey raising capital and much more. Uplifting Capital is proud to have syndicated an investment into Spark Charge's Series A round prior to launching our first fund. That existing relationship with Spark Charge and Tale Venture Partners, the fund manager that led the Series A, recently helped our Uplifting Capital Private Impact Fund I access a limited availability convertible note ahead of Spark Charge's upcoming Series B.
