About the Program

This program is a series of 10 virtual workshops with additional in-between sessions for rural start-ups that will take your idea from conception to a business idea that is ready for investors.

This program ensures success by utilizing:

1. A “learn by doing” approach, participants are introduced to concepts and strategies that will move their business idea along a continuum from idea to investment ready.
2. Accountability and milestones for development that have been incorporated throughout the program to ensure that momentum is measured, and bottlenecks uncovered that can be then addressed through advisory services and/or mentorship.
3. Best-in-class tools and resources that are employed throughout the program to ensure a consistent experience at all IGNITE Atlantic locations.
