How did Sparkmate start?

Our drive has always been geared to help entrepreneurs, changemakers and innovators imagine, build and launch their products, to help them create impact with our skills in technology and engineering 📱💻🛠🚀

Our Co-Founders Morgan and Max shared this same passion when they met in University. They built countless projects together and knew they wanted to grow a strong, devoted team of technologists who love what they do and want to revolutionize the way people innovate and build products - and so they did.

Today, Sparkmate powers Climate Tech entrepreneurs. We're committed to industrial innovation that addresses critical sustainability challenges.

How big is the team at Sparkmate?

We’ve got 20+ mates in the tribe, across our hubs in Hong Kong, Paris and Sydney. We have these hubs for now, but home to us is online and worldwide ❤️ We’ve got teams from 🇭🇰 🇫🇷 🇷🇴 🇦🇺 🇬🇧 🇵🇭 🇦🇹 🇧🇩 🇸🇬 🇪🇸 and speak more than 10 languages!

How is the team/life like at Sparkmate?

Let some of the team tell you ;)

  • “Makers, breakers and badasses!”
  • “You handle so many different projects in such a small period of time. I love it because my learning curve never seems to flatten.“
  • “Very flat hierarchy with the right amount of freedom and responsibilities.”
  • “#Engineering done right.”
  • “Our high pace rhythm and our continuous change. You can’t get bored!”
  • “Absolute bloody rockstars.”

How do I know if I’ll fit at Sparkmate?

Truth is, there’s no such thing as “fitting in”, there’s no need to!

We don’t really care for what your CV says, where you went to school or which degree(s) you’ve got. You might even have an almost empty or super comprehensive portfolio!

But none of that matters without: having genuine curiosity, being down to deep dive and get your hands dirty, having care for the people who work with you, having care for your impact on the world, not being afraid to break things (and fix them), and just a little bit of craziness to believe that anything is possible 🚀

Morgan is a hard-charging entrepreneur and engineer who takes pride in seeking out and solving strong challenges. He truly believes that there is something broken in the way people build products, which is why he co-founded Sparkmate with Maxime and Ghislain! Never tell him that something is impossible, he will reply “Watch me”, his craziness and abundant energy always led him to unexpected situations… When he is not working on building Sparkmate, he spends most of his time on the sport fields. Morgan likes to say he is an Intern at Sparkmate (he also likes making bad jokes).

Maxime has always been passionate about dissecting and solving hard problems. He's an industrial engineer, but he learned software design and development then started freelancing with Morgan long before Sparkmate was born. He likes to makes things clear, make things happen and make things look amazing. Maxime is COO at Sparkmate and while Morgan focuses on making bad jokes, he's focused on making the ship move forward... a little faster and better everyday!

Rémi is the living and breathing definition of being a doer! He started working at Sparkmate as an intern and progressively (well, it was more lightning speed, but that’s another story...) ramped up to becoming one of the key players in the team! His willingness to learn has no limits and this allowed him to broaden his working scope from mechatronics and CAD to overseeing our most challenging industrial projects! He loves riding motorcycles, cooking cakes, and climbing! Remi is a Product Engineer at Sparkmate, specialized in Mechanics and Mechatronics.

Léo has always been a crazy talented inventor. That's how he actually joined Sparkmate at first, for a summer internship. After winning a French national innovation award building the "Attrapette" (contact him to know more...) he started working at Sparkmate and unleased his potential of fearless maker. He has been involved in countless projects, from mechanical design, production, electronics system, IoT devices, he's a true builder. Léo is a Product Engineer at Sparkmate, specialized in Mechanics and Mechatronics.

Sasha is one of the first to have joined Sparkmate. After starting his career as a lawyer in the tech industry in Moscow, he realized that what he wanted was to actually build products! He started to learn how to code by himself in OpenClassroom and joined Sparkmate later on! Sasha is committed to his goals, his reconversion speaks for itself. He is also a true sport, he plays in the national championships of floorball and is also passionate about VR and 3D! Sasha is a Product Engineer at Sparkmate, specialized in Software and Cloud Platforms.

Thomas is one of the key players in the team, he was one of the first to join the company! Technically nothing is impossible for him, he often takes pride in showing that you only need ownership and dedication to build great products. In addition to this he also cooks lamb better than your grandma! He hates talking about making things, what he likes is doing things; lucky for him Sparkmate has almost no meetings! Thomas is a Product Engineer at Sparkmate, specialized in IoT and embedded systems
