Cosa fa SparkGift

SparkGift is a Y Combinator backed technology startup that makes it easy to give investments as gifts. The founders came together with a common vision that it should be as easy to give someone an investment in the future, as it is to give someone a retail gift card. SparkGift supports small dollar gifts and fractional shares, so you can give someone a $20 investment in Apple or a Vanguard index fund. SparkGift is creating products that make investing simple, enjoyable and accessible to the masses. Our mission is to use gifts to create new savers & investors at scale.
