We introduce a new method for sparse principal component analysis, based on the aggregation of eigenvector information from carefully-selected random projections of the sample covariance matrix. Unlike most alternative approaches, our algorithm is non-iterative, so is not vulnerable to a bad choice of initialisation. Our theory provides great detail on the statistical and computational trade-off in our procedure, revealing a subtle interplay between the effective sample size and the number of random projections that are required to achieve the minimax optimal rate. Numerical studies provide further insight into the procedure and confirm its highly competitive finite-sample performance.
