SPARK FESTIVAL WEEK · 21—27 SEP 2026

AN INDEPENDENT OCTOPUS TRACKA INITIATIVE

Bring the idea.
We'll help make it real.

For founders and early teams across Sydney and NSW during Spark Festival week. Selected submissions will join a focused conversation to sharpen the customer problem, surface the riskiest assumption and define the smallest credible next step.

Bring us your ideaSee how we help

You do not need a perfect pitch or a technical co-founder.

DREAM REALISERS

Ambition becomes real when there is something to test.

THE SPARK

An idea you cannot stop thinking about—and a customer problem worth solving.

  1. 1

    Dream

  2. 2

    Sharpen

  3. 3

    Prototype

  4. 4

    Move

THE NEXT MOVE

A clearer product, a buildable path or the first useful proof.

Founder-led. Outcome-focused.

DREAMS, WITH A DELIVERY PATH

It does not need to be polished. It needs to matter.

Whether you are shaping the idea or already have early users, bring the problem that deserves a real test.

01

Sharpen the problem

Get clearer about the customer, the job they need done and why it matters now.

02

Find the riskiest assumption

Choose what must be true before spending months building the wrong thing.

03

Make the next step buildable

Turn the idea into a prototype, experiment or practical delivery path.

FROM SPARK TO SOMETHING REAL

Four moves that create momentum.

Founder conversations are limited. We will contact selected submissions with next-step details; submitting does not confirm a session or build engagement.

  1. 01

    Share

    Put the idea on the table

    Tell us who it is for, the problem it solves and what you have learned so far.

  2. 02

    Sharpen

    Name the real bet

    Separate the exciting story from the assumption that needs evidence first.

  3. 03

    Shape

    Choose the smallest proof

    Define a prototype or experiment that could create meaningful learning quickly.

  4. 04

    Move

    Leave with a path

    Identify the next decision, the people involved and what a credible build would take.

WHAT WE AIM TO UNLOCK

From a compelling dream to a credible next move.

We combine product judgement with AI and cloud delivery. The goal is not theatre—it is useful evidence that helps a founder decide what to do next.

For [customer], who struggles with [problem], we believe [idea] can create [change]. The first thing we need to prove is [assumption].

A founder session can clarify

  • The customer and problem worth serving
  • The riskiest assumption to test first
  • The smallest meaningful prototype
  • Where AI genuinely helps—and where it does not
  • A practical 30-day next-step plan

GOOD TO KNOW

Bring the idea, not the theatre.

Do I need an incorporated company?

No. Idea-stage founders and early teams are welcome.

Do I need technical experience?

No. Bring a clear customer problem and a willingness to test assumptions.

Is this an investment or funding program?

No. Submitting does not constitute an investment offer or funding commitment.

Will Tracka build my product for free?

No build engagement is implied. Any prototype, sprint or longer engagement will have separately agreed scope, timing and commercial terms.

Is my idea confidential?

Submitting does not automatically create an NDA. Share enough for us to understand the opportunity, but keep trade secrets out until a suitable agreement is in place.

Do I need to register for a Spark Festival event?

Registration for official Festival events is handled separately. This invitation does not include or guarantee entry to any Festival event.
