Go from student to founder this summer at Ignite
For many students, the gap between having a business idea and actually launching a startup feels impossible to cross. Ignite, a summer accelerator by Aalto Entrepreneurship Society (Aaltoes), is built to bridge that gap.
Ignite is a 10-week program (June 15 – Aug 23) designed to transform ambitious students into founders. Operating out of Startup Sauna, the program provides the missing link between academic learning and real-world execution.
We provide the runway: professional mentoring, a €1500 grant, accommodation support, and 10 ECTS. We take 0% equity.
Beyond the business building, Ignite is an unforgettable summer experience. We balance the hard work with weekly BBQs, sauna sessions, and outdoor activities, ensuring you build a lifelong network while pushing your potential to the max.
If you are ready to start before you feel ready, this is your sign.
Applications close March 8. Read more and apply: ignite.aaltoes.com
