Go from student to founder this summer at Ignite

Apply now to spend your summer building at Ignite, a 10-week program designed to transform ambitious students into founders.

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.
