Building SparkLaunch in public 🚀
This week we focused on strengthening the foundation of the platform. Even as a small team, we hold ourselves to a high standard of engineering discipline and product clarity.
We spent time refining auto-documentation, traceability, and idea ingestion so founders can move faster while keeping their work structured and organized. We are also constantly adjusting our goals and vision so every improvement moves us closer to the north star of helping founders build better companies.
Our MCP server implementation is now complete for this phase, and we are now refining functionality while building skills and recipes that unlock the full power of SparkLaunch.
Every week we push the platform a little further so founders can go from idea → incorporation → growth → fundraising with less friction.
