Summary
The ‘NEXT IGNITE’ Innovation App supports a learner team with an external mentor through a short 'pre-accelerator' idea generation & pitch program following the initial phases of a Lean Launchpad based methodology. Students will be provided with feedback from mentor, peers and the program coordinator as they progress through the innovation journey.
The goal is for the learner to develop and pitch a high potential innovation concept to an ‘investment’ panel at the stage of entering an accelerator program. The program is generic and designed to be useful for startup, business or public good innovations across a range of problems and industries.
