Who we are
We are building a new way to understand commodity pricing,
starting with our LNG Freight. In early 2019, Spark launched with
the backing of Kpler Ventures, part of Kpler, the world’s leading
shipping tracking and commodity data intelligence provider, and
EEX (formerly Powernext), part of the Deutsche Boerse Group, a
globally recognised exchange.
Led by commodity professionals and experienced software engineers,
we are a small team of people from a variety of backgrounds who
want to make a big impact.
