Machine Zone co-founder and creator of Game of War backs SPARK as the company builds the future of moving users from match to real-life dates.
CENTRAL, Singapore & SUKHUMVIT, Thailand - eTravelWire -- Singapore-based dating startup SPARK announced that Silicon Valley gaming pioneer Mike Sherrill has invested in the company.
Mike is the co-founder of Machine Zone, the company behind Game of War, one of the most successful mobile games in history, which generated approximately $2.8 billion in revenue. Machine Zone was later acquired by AppLovin.
Mike's investment adds significant Silicon Valley consumer product expertise to SPARK as the company builds what it believes is the next evolution of online dating.
Most dating apps help people match.
Very few help people actually meet in real life.
SPARK is solving that problem by helping users move from match to meet through curated, bookable real-world experiences, including restaurants, rooftops, wellness experiences, live events and social experiences.

The company has already onboarded 3,500 users in Thailand and is now scaling across Southeast Asia. Early data shows approximately 65% of users are moving from a match to a real-world date, validating SPARK's core thesis that dating platforms should optimise for meetings, not just matches.
"Mike has built products at enormous global scale and understands consumer engagement better than most founders on the planet," said Sunny Khurana, Founder & CEO of SPARK.
"His belief in SPARK is strong validation that we are solving a real global problem."
SPARK recently launched Version 2 of its platform and also announced that former Eatigo Co-Founder & CEO Michael Cluzel has joined the company as Co-Founder.
The company is now focused on scaling across Thailand and Singapore before broader global expansion.
