Spark

2023 was a breakout year for Spark. We partnered with 100+ leading agencies serving 3,400+ brokers, and enrolled 60,000+ beneficiaries. We’re carrying that momentum into 2024 with two announcements: First, we’ve raised a $25 million Series B, led by Drew Aldrich at Viewpoint Ventures. We’re particularly proud of this milestone given the challenging fundraising climate right now. Second, we’re launching the new Spark brand. Our new visual and verbal identity better captures our ambition, and articulates just how much we have to offer our partners. Our new website is a celebration of our partners, our performance to date, and the incredible trajectory we are on together. Here’s a taste: - Last year, we saved partner agents 400,000 cumulative hours, freeing them to focus on revenue generating activities - Across our largest agency partners representing >70% of our business, we’ve seen an astounding 140% enrollment growth year-over-year - Through this growth, we maintained a agent NPS of 91, affirming the value we bring to our customers and our commitment to service Our co-founder and CEO, James Jiang, writes in-depth about all these topics and this year’s vision for the organization on the Spark blog.

We’re wrapping up our ✨12 Days of Spark✨with this special message to Manager of our Agent Success team Jon Mullen from Spark’s very first agent Dorene E. Thompson. As we reflect on the heartwarming messages we’ve shared over the past two weeks, we’re deeply grateful for all of the growth we’ve seen since the early days of Spark. A huge thank you to our team, our partners, and everyone who has been a part of our journey. Here’s to continuing the work we’re passionate about, and to many more moments of impact in the year ahead.

On Day 11 of ✨12 Days of Spark✨ we’re highlighting this comment on a post from our VP of Sales Henry Figueroa from Peter F. Orona about our platform that helps agents build the business of their dreams by automating and streamlining workflows to boost productivity.

Day 10 of ✨12 Days of Spark✨ highlighting some of our most special moments of 2024. We mean it when we say we’re a partner – not just an upline. Our team members’ support often gets feedback like this message to Agency Contracting Specialist Sidney Wheeldon from an agency principal whose experience with a previous NMA had been confusing and disorganized. At Spark, we offer our partners 24/7 support from onboarding onward – we’re there every step of the way, taking work off of their plate and streamlining workflows to save agents time and stress.

On Day 9 of ✨ 12 Days of Spark ✨, we’re highlighting this message from Rich Lewis of Medicare Mentors LLC, whose client’s post-surgery update included a note of gratitude for the support they received from Spark. Our team members do more than solve problems – they’re there for people when they need it most, navigating the challenges of healthcare during some of the scariest times of their lives. To our amazing team at Spark, thank you for your commitment to making health journeys smoother, more informed, and more supportive every day.

Day 8 of ✨ 12 Days of Spark ✨ brings this heartwarming gem shared with our VP of Sales, Henry Figueroa. Rochelle's agency, Phil-Am Agency, has seen astronomical growth since joining Spark last June. In 2024 alone, they grew their downline agent count 10x *and* enrolled 7x more beneficiaries than the previous year. 😮💨 🚀 We’re so proud of the relationships we’ve built with our partners, and feedback like this is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

We’re halfway through ✨12 Days of Spark ✨ and on Day 7, we’re sharing this message a client sent in to thank Jerrika Wright, one of our Navigator Team members, who went above and beyond to help them understand their benefits and receive the medication they needed. Knowing the impact our team members and partners make in the lives of Medicare beneficiaries is incredibly rewarding and motivates us to continue providing exceptional support to our partners everyday.
