We are thrilled to announce that Venture Spark, an early-stage, sector-agnostic accelerator program designed to help startups in Thailand grow and scale locally and globally, is now accepting applications for its first cohort.
Established by A2D Ventures and supported by InnoSpace (Thailand), Venture Spark is a platform created by visionaries, whose personal journeys and passions have driven them to transform innovative startups in Thailand into globally scalable ventures.

Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to refine your growth strategy, this program is designed to unlock your potential and position your startup for long-term success.
Why We Created Venture Spark
Thailand’s startup ecosystem is teeming with potential but often hampered by challenges:
- Limited Funding: Early-stage startups struggle to secure the capital needed to scale.
- Lack of Mentorship: Founders often navigate their journeys without experienced guidance.
- Small Vision: Many startups need support to dream big and target global markets.
Recognizing these challenges, we established Venture Spark to bridge these gaps. Our vision extends beyond funding — we aim to create a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem that catalyzes innovation and drives economic growth.
What Makes Venture Spark Unique?
Venture Spark is built on the foundation of three key pillars: capital, mentorship, and aspiration. Here’s what participants can look forward to:
- Personalized Mentorship: Work closely with seasoned entrepreneurs and industry leaders who understand the early-growth challenges and guide you towards success.

- Global Networking Opportunities: Tap into a robust network of corporate leaders, investors, and strategic partners from Thailand and beyond.
- Hands-on Learning: Gain actionable insights through tailored sessions on scalable growth, moving beyond the MVP, building high-performance teams, operational efficiency, and fundraising by best-in-class experts.
