San Francisco Business Times Names Bospar a Top 40 LGBTQ+-owned Business 

SAN FRANCISCO — June 4, 2026 — Bospar, the “politely pushy” PR and marketing firm for pharma and tech, has been ranked No. 7 on the San Francisco Business Times list of the top 40 LGBTQ+-owned Bay Area businesses. Bospar has appeared on the list since 2020. 

“Bospar’s growth can be attributed to AI,” said Curtis Sparrer, principal at Bospar. “All of our tech clients are leaders in the AI economy. In fact, Bospar has led the way in helping to boost companies’ visibility on AI platforms, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, CoPilot, Grok, Mistral and Perplexity. In September 2025, Bospar introduced Audit*E, one of the first PR tools built that helps companies improve their GEO standing, based on our efforts to improve RealSense’s visibility. Our RealSense campaign was so successful, it was covered by Business Insider and Forbes.”

The annual list honors companies that are at least 51% LGBTQ+ owned and headquartered in the Greater Bay Area, which includes Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma counties. Rankings are based on information provided by company representatives.
