BCG Spark: Empowering Businesses and Their Communities

BCG Spark promotes community development and economic growth by working with small, minority-owned and/or women-owned business enterprises to drive economic growth for underserved communities.

Through direct consulting as well as partnerships with our broader business ecosystem of corporate partners, capital providers, educational institutions, and nonprofits, we help entrepreneurs scale, grow, and thrive. As part of BCG Spark, businesses accelerate growth, create jobs, and drive community development through positive economic impact and wealth creation.


How We Work with Entrepreneurs and Their Communities

BCG Spark connects the firm’s employees with small, minority-owned, and/or women-owned enterprises and supports these businesses in creating a positive impact across their communities. To date, BCG Spark has worked with over 175 entrepreneurs across industries including retail, sustainable housing, entertainment, healthcare, agriculture and financial technology.

BCG Spark is built on a simple idea: connecting our staff and experts with a diverse group of innovative entrepreneurs will help them fulfill their companies’ promise – and support our local communities to thrive. Over the course of several months, we help participants zero in on core business opportunities and challenges, accelerate their companies’ growth, and deepen their impact; we then activate an ecosystem of corporate partners, capital providers, educational institutions, and nonprofits that help companies sustain their growth over the long term.

For each project, BCG Spark works with the business owner to deliver a variety of benefits, including consulting support, access to BCG’s experts and partners, one-on-one business coaching, leadership advice, and panel sessions on topics such as sales, marketing and operations. This is furthered by our extensive network of ecosystem partners with expertise in small/medium businesses who provide access to additional expertise, capital, customers, and markets to help fuel growth.

 

Five Categories of Support For BCG Spark

Working with BCG Spark not only provided us with tangible resources to scale, but it almost felt like “business therapy” where you can share your thoughts and feelings as a startup founder. This was an incredible experience and highly recommended for anyone looking to solve complex business problems.
- Kwame Molden, Springbreak Watches

The BCG Spark program was an outstanding experience! Having the opportunity to network with executives from BCG and other companies was extremely beneficial. Our company garnered valuable business resources, expertise, and professional support that has allowed us to overcome challenges, as well as achieve significant growth.
