​Why Ignaite?

​France is full of talent in tech and AI —
but founders still lack support, community, and visibility.

​Ignaite is a founder-first accelerator born among friends, founders, and investors to help startups take off.

• ​ 12 hand-picked tech & AI startups with bold visions

• ​3 exclusive workshops with Dust, Hexa, and Kima

• ​Perks from Google, Anthropic & access to a real community

• ​And tonight — the big finale: a pitch night in one of the Republic’s most iconic venues
