spARK Labs by ARK Invest

A long‑term innovation incubator and entrepreneurial support hub located in the St. Petersburg Innovation District that provides sustained incubation, programming, curated community connections, and workspace to help founders accelerate deep‑tech and disruptive startups. Backed by ARK Invest and positioned as a launchpad for innovators across sectors such as AI, robotics, energy storage, digital assets, and multiomics, spARK Labs focuses on high‑touch mentoring, ecosystem connections, and customized support over extended engagement rather than short 12‑week cohorts.

Key Information

• Curated programming, workshops, and events (e.g., innovation showcases, mentor meetups, and topic‑focused labs).
• Workspace and collaborative environment at the ARK Innovation Center (physical hub in St. Petersburg).
• Ecosystem connections to customers, capital networks, and peer founders from the Tampa Bay tech community and beyond.
