Meet Brandon Zobel, Owner/CEO of ProsperSpark (prosperspark.com).
Tell us a little about your business. – ProsperSpark is a professional consulting team of about 30 experts, serving over 500 clients across the U.S. and Canada. We use technology to design and automate business tools, systems and processes, creating solutions that put businesses in charge of their data and systems—not the other way around
Our expertise includes creating and streamlining complex Excel spreadsheets, building workflows in Airtable, enhancing functionality in Salesforce and integrating platforms. We use tools like Zapier and Make (as an official Make partner) to help businesses save time, reduce errors and unlock their full potential through efficiency and innovation.
How did you get started in the business? – I’ve had always had a passion for technology, personally and professionally. I knew that I wanted to solve problems with technology full-time, so I launched ProsperSpark in our toy room-turned-home office almost 7 years ago. What began as a solo venture to help a handful of clients streamline their processes has grown into a thriving business that has partnered with nearly 500 companies across industries, locally, nationally, and even a few globally
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced professionally? – Scaling ProsperSpark while maintaining personalized service and quality has been my biggest professional challenge. Balancing this growth with ensuring that every project meets the high standards we’ve set requires ongoing effort, adaptability, and a strong commitment to our mission. Growing to serve over 500 businesses has pushed me to refine processes, build a strong team, and stay true to our core values.
What do you see as one of the biggest turning points in your life? – Walking away from a stable corporate job to pursue my passion for helping businesses work smarter was daunting, but starting ProsperSpark opened the door to incredible growth. It’s been profoundly fulfilling to create something meaningful, make an impact for our clients, and build a legacy I’m proud to share with my family
Who inspires you? – A number of people inspire me, but my parents are at the top of the list. They didn’t have much growing up, and we didn’t either—they raised my siblings and me on a modest income, making sacrifices to ensure we had what we needed, but they instilled great values in me. My late father worked very hard to provide for our family, and I know he would have loved seeing ProsperSpark grow. My wife and kids inspire me, too—I work hard so they have everything they need, and hopefully, most of what they want.
What local nonprofit organizations are you passionate about or involved with, and are there any special reasons why? – Programs that provide access to quality education, mentorship, and opportunities for kids to discover their potential mean a lot to me— especially as a father who sees the importance of nurturing curiosity and creativity in young minds. I’m also deeply committed to fostering entrepreneurship. Serving on the board for the Fremont Creative Collective has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s inspiring to see a community come together to support and grow new entrepreneurs.
