Intel Ignite co-creates the future of technology with its founders, operating on a co-founder-as-a-service model. It’s this bespoke, personalized approach to accelerating deep tech startups that sets Intel Ignite apart from other startup accelerator programs. Through a founder-focused program, mentorship and unparalleled and unfiltered access to the Intel ecosystem, external tech executives and investors, we help founders accelerate all aspects of their startups and reach their goals, enabling them to enter the market, raise funds and grow revenue, customers and valuation faster and more efficiently than they would have on their own.
