The Story Behind JetSparks

Building products that make a difference

Steve Brown

Hi, I'm Steve Brown

I'm a product engineer who loves solving real problems with technology. For over 15 years, I've been building digital experiences—from mobile apps to web platforms—always focused on creating products that genuinely help people. Outside of code, you'll find me rock climbing, snowboarding, or playing guitar—each teaching me something different about creativity, flow, and persistence.

The Journey

My path has taken me from agency work to founding startups, always driven by one question: how can technology make people's lives genuinely better? Each project taught me something new about building products people actually want to use.

Chalk (2018)

Combined my passion for climbing with technology to create a training app for thousands of climbers worldwide. Partnered with theCrag.com in 2022. This taught me the power of building for communities you're actually part of—when you understand the problem deeply, you build better solutions.

Self Isolation Help (2020)

When COVID-19 hit, I saw people struggling and built a platform in days to connect those isolating with volunteers who could help. Led a 15-person volunteer team, got featured on Channel 4's "Dispatches". Sometimes you don't have time to overthink—you just need to ship and help people now.

Why JetSparks?

I've watched too many talented people with brilliant product ideas get stopped by the technical complexity of e-commerce. They shouldn't need to become developers or spend months learning Shopify just to sell something they've created.

AI has finally reached the point where we can actually remove these barriers. JetSparks isn't about replacing creativity—it's about handling the technical grunt work so creators can focus on what they do best: making great products and connecting with customers.

This is what drives me: using technology to help people do things they couldn't do before. Whether it's training for a climbing route, helping neighbors during a pandemic, or launching an online business—I want to build tools that remove friction and create possibilities.

Building Together

JetSparks is being built with early adopters, not for them. Every feature, every decision, every improvement comes from real conversations with real people trying to build real stores.
