Girişim Özeti

San Francisco merkezli startup’ımız Sparkler bugüne kadar geliştirilmiş en hızlı hatırlama deneyimini sunuyor.

Sparkler beynin dijital bir uzantısı gibi çalışan ve hatırlamak istediğiniz şeyleri sizi not tutmak ve organize etmek zorunda bırakmadan parmaklarınızın ucuna getiren bir uygulama.

Henüz bootstrap ederek ilerleyen, hızlı hareket eden, multidisipliner, geliştirici ve tasarımcılardan oluşan 6 kişilik bir ekibimiz var ve 6 aydır Sparkler üzerine çalışıyoruz.

Pazar ve Rekabet

Market:

TAM: $32.9Bn (3.75 b mobile app users x 14.65% of PKM* users > Approx 549M users x ~$5/mo pricing)

At 2% market share we can generate ~$138M ARR

Readwise does a good job with syncing a variety of different knowledge management tools but is still a fragmented solution that heavily focuses on storing highlights and spaced repetition. Retrieving information from Readwise is quite cumbersome.

Mymind came out pretty promising curation tool with its one-click AI-powered automatic categorization, but over time the product has become a smart mood board due to the strict vision of its designer-founder.

New players emerging in the market:

Competition:

Mem is a new note-taking super app with powerful capture features and 3rd party integrations
(Ex-Google, Ex-Yelp, raised $5.6 million from Andreessen Horowitz)

Beam is a new web browser that focused on content curation
(Ex-Apple / Sparrow Email, acquired by Google, raised $13M)
