“As someone coming from an area that lacks access to venture capital, Ignite was a game-changer for us! Not only was the mentoring valuable but we came away with connections and investment that will enable us to scale our products”
“It was a truly incredible experience. Not only did I have the opportunity to speak with key stake holders in my space, I also had the opportunity to connect with other incredible women and mentors.”
