What is the Ignition Program:
The Ignition Program offers post-secondary students a 10-week program that gives access to training, mentorship, resources, ecosystem connections; and honorariums to support personal and business development. Students will be awarded $10 for each session they engage with!
What’s in this session:
Most startup advice focuses on tactics and ignores the person running the business. This session combines scrappy, low-budget growth hacks for finding early customers with essential strategies for founder resilience and burnout prevention. You’ll walk away with actionable steps to build early traction and the energy management playbook needed to maintain momentum and grow sustainably.
