Founded in 2014 and a graduate of the Y Combinator (W15) accelerator program, SparkGift was a platform designed to make stock ownership more accessible by simplifying the process of gifting securities. The service allowed individuals to purchase fractional shares of publicly traded companies (like Apple or Disney) or index funds for others, providing a modern alternative to traditional gifts. In May 2016, SparkGift announced it was shutting down its operations, and its team was acquired by Stockpile, a larger company in the same stock-gifting market.
