Founded in 2019, FirstIgnite aims to revolutionize scientific breakthroughs into commercial successes. That year, we were given the opportunity to support the commercialization of cancer treatment molecules – proven to slow tumor growth in small animals – and help them reach human trials. Although our founders had no skills in oncology, we learned we could help cure cancer.

Since then, we’ve united global universities and pioneering companies across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, energy storage, cyber security, food production, water treatment, and so much more.

With support from leading venture capital groups like Y Combinator, FirstIgnite has become a hub for innovative minds striving for societal impact.

Alone, we can’t cure cancer, we can’t alter plant genetics, and we can’t solve the world’s energy crises. But we can build products and offer services that bring together the world’s top innovators and companies, who can work together to accomplish anything they put their minds and resources to. Our user-friendly artificial intelligence software tackles challenges through a global platform meant to increase collaborative corporate and higher-education engagements.

At FirstIgnite, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the world.
