    Description:

    August Spark is a NY-based family office focused on investments in marketing, technology, and business services. The firm focuses on profitable companies where it can leverage its expertise in sales and marketing, setting and executing against growth strategy initiatives, building and supporting a great company culture, and digital transformations. Prior to August Spark, Michael Cassidy was the founding CEO of Undertone, a leading advertising technology company that was successfully acquired by marketing software firm Perion in 2015. August Spark was created to address the gap in investor expertise in the marketing and business services space, largely due to the proliferation of technology and the imperative for digital-first offerings. As a family office, August Spark takes a long-term, founder-friendly approach to its investment timeline versus the typical five- to seven-year horizon of most private equity and venture capital firms. The firm targets companies with between $2 and $10M in profitability.
