The Platform
Simple objectives.
Measurable growth.
Ignite transforms student ideas into investor-ready assets. We use AI to nurture each venture from a spark of an idea to a validated, fundable business — strengthening your institution's reputation and financial impact.
Every student gets 24/7 access to personalised AI guidance, dramatically expanding your programme's capacity without increasing staff headcount.
We ensure more students succeed — directly increasing the number of high-quality opportunities available to your internal funds, partners, and the institution itself.
Each venture is built as a true partnership between the entrepreneur and your institution, delivering proven, measurable outcomes for KEF reporting and positioning you as a source of top-tier commercial talent.
