About Spark
Spark is built for engineers who need to turn complex research into clear, actionable decisions.
Mission
Give engineers the fastest path from research to decision.
R&D engineers spend valuable time collecting and organizing information instead of innovating. External intelligence from consultants is slow, expensive, and often limited to executives due to cost constraints.
These necessary but non-value-creating activities create bottlenecks for innovation throughout the company.
Founder
Mergeflow was founded by Florian Wolf. Florian has a PhD from MIT and has built software in bioinformatics, finance, and advanced text and language analytics.
He considers himself a pretty decent technology sleuth, but enjoys building a lot more than sleuthing. Spark automates the sleuthing so engineers can focus on building.
Who we are
Spark is built and operated by Mergeflow. We are a small, distributed team, with offices in Munich and New York.
We build Spark for research-driven teams that need a faster, more reliable way to access technology intelligence.
What we aim for
- 1Accelerate technology discovery from weeks to hours, freeing engineers to focus on building products and developing new technologies.
- 2Make high-quality intelligence affordable and accessible to every engineer, not just executives with large budgets.
How we build
Targeted insights, not lengthy reports
Spark delivers concise, high-signal answers instead of documents that go unread.
Light on process
Information should be used, not managed. R&D work needs flexibility, not rigid workflows.
GenAI as a sparring partner
Spark suggests alternatives and helps refine ideas without replacing human expertise.
Transparent and sovereign
Spark always cites its sources. Your data remains yours and is never used for training.
