Curtin Ignition is a fantastic opportunity for anyone with a business idea. The camaraderie is heartwarming. You are in a room for an entire week with 60+ other people, all with the same dream as you - to turn their idea into a reality. Everyone is so supportive and helpful. In addition to making new connections, you are also provided with a high-quality mentor that can help you think through your ideas and give you some priceless advice on how to move forward. During the week at Ignition, my idea was scaled up to a different level. I really was able to take myself seriously as a business owner and think larger about myself and my business than I had previously. At the end of the week, you pitch your idea to a panel of experts. It is such an effective way to find out if you are on the right track with your idea and get ready to move it forward. The people I met in my mentor group will be lifelong connections and friends. I feel very fortunate to have experienced Ignition and I am grateful to the Town of Victoria Park for supporting my business endeavours.
