Spark Labs develops the $39 Spark Core developer kit and the SparkCloud platform to connect Internet-connected devices, and sells a $99 maker kit bundling hardware and components. The company announced Spark OS, an open-source operating system compatible with iOS and Android to help developers integrate projects. Spark has shipped around 25,000 units of the Spark Core and previously ran a Kickstarter that raised 60x its $10,000 goal. Its products target both novice makers and enterprise customers by emphasizing ease of use and sufficient sophistication for professional applications. The company’s product line supports rapid iteration for tinkerers and hardware teams alike. Spark’s recent capital and product launches position it to expand platform adoption among developers.
