Sparc Club

Founder Q&A

In the founder's words

Fayzan Shah, Founder & CEO

Why did you build it?

I built Sparc Club because I believe the right connections can change the direction of a business. As an entrepreneur, I understand how difficult it can be to find people who share your ambition, understand your challenges, and can help you grow. Most social platforms focus on content and engagement, but I wanted to build something more intentional: a private network where founders can connect, exchange value, and discover meaningful business opportunities.

Who is it for, and what problem does it solve for them?

Sparc Club is built for entrepreneurs and startup founders who want more meaningful professional connections. Finding the right co-founder, business partner, or fellow entrepreneur can be challenging when networking platforms are crowded with content and distractions. Sparc Club aims to make this easier through a focused community where founders can discover relevant people, connect directly, and build relationships around shared business interests and opportunities.

What was the hardest moment so far, and what did you do?

One of the hardest parts has been turning an idea into something real while navigating the uncertainty that comes with building a startup. There is no guarantee that people will understand your vision or adopt what you create. I've had to learn, make decisions with limited resources, and keep improving the product instead of waiting for perfect conditions. It has taught me that building a startup requires patience, resilience, and a willingness to keep moving forward even when progress feels slow.

How did you get your first users or customers?

I'm approaching early growth by sharing the vision behind Sparc Club on my personal Linkedin and through content creation on Instagram and reaching out to entrepreneurs and startup founders who understand the need for meaningful connections. Rather than focusing only on numbers, I want to attract people who genuinely see value in a private founder network. My focus is on building awareness, listening to feedback, and learning from early users so that Sparc Club can become more useful to the people it is designed to serve.

One piece of advice for other founders?

If you have an idea, don't just keep thinking about it. Build at least an MVP, a basic version of your product that people can actually use and understand. Share it with people, listen to their feedback, and improve it based on what you learn. People can understand your vision much better when they can see and experience what you're building. You don't need to get everything right from day one. Start small, get feedback, and keep improving.
