About Us
Why Spark Tank?
Our goal is to empower and inspire young entrepreneurs to ignite the spark of creativity from their Creator – and to see if the result is products or services that help their local community!
What We Value In People & Ideas:
Courage
Courage isn't the absence of fear. It is the decision you make in the face of fear. It takes courage to try, to fail, and to succeed as you learn through life's journey.
Creativity
You were created by a Creator who left world-changing fingerprints on your life. Don't limit the potential ideas and impact He may desire to release through you.
Community
We were created to live in a positive relationship to each other and the world. Share who you are with those around you and learn from those God has placed in your life.
Meet The Teacher
Justin Rule
I started my own business delivering newspapers and collecting subscriptions from my neighbors at age 12. By 14 I had my first job at McDonald’s and ran a small lawn mowing business in my neighborhood. By age 16 I had tried (& failed, kinda) to start ‘1001 Words Photography’ to sell my photos on mugs and greeting cards. (Enter great tagline: Some pictures are worth more than a thousand words.)
I have since started and ran a few businesses successfully, and some not-so-well. From non-profits teaching dance and art in schools, to selling wellness products, to designing websites for entrepreneurs. I now own and run Launch Kits – a web design company I began in 2016 with my friend Adam. (We actually launched as Sparrow Websites, but practicing what I teach: sometimes you need to change or update your brand based on the market!) We rebranded in 2020 as ‘Launch Kits’ and have helped over 1,500 entrepreneurs on 6 continents over 9 years to launch their business online with a website.
I have learned from the ups and downs – so I am excited to help you bring your idea to life.
