What you get
Investment options
Where it fits, and only where it fits. We are not your investor, so the introduction comes without a conflict.
The building
24/7 access in Otaniemi. Hardware lab, desks, office space and individual rooms — yours for the whole programme.
Resources
IT support, free cloud credits, conference tickets and the templates you would otherwise build from scratch.
Friday check-ins
Every week, the whole cohort in one room. What moved, what did not, and what you are doing about it.
Weekly mentoring
Meet unicorn founders, experienced industry coach and our partners matched to what you are building.
Events and founder talks
Weekly, and none of them mandatory. You are running a company now; we schedule around that.
Alumni network platform
Everyone who has been through Ignite, in one digital place, found nowhere else.
Small grants
Non-dilutive, for the specific things that unblock a company — parts, tooling, a trip that has to happen.
US and China trips
Frequent visits to Silicon Valley in SF, and manufacturing partners in China.
