WHAT ARE SPARKUPS?
SparkUps are intimate Socratic dialogues where 3-4 curious people who share Third Brain's values explore complex questions through a 60-90min video call.
These conversations are positive-sum, meaning they incentivize participants to refine their thinking and seek shared understanding, not win a debate.
