Proud to help women build what's next in health.

Ignite: three colorful profiles on a blue background

Vivvidae is a founding partner of Ignite, alongside our partners at Nova and Wu Consulting. Ignite is an incubator for women founders and C suite leaders of early stage health, wellness and medical device companies. This fall, Ignite welcomes its next cohort, giving early stage leaders a window into the expertise, network and practical guidance that Vivvidae, Nova and Wu Consulting bring to the companies we work with. We could not be prouder to be part of it.

Why we are part of it

Great ideas rarely stall because the science is weak. They stall because the path forward is unclear.

Ignite gives founders six months of mentorship, community and hands on support to find that path. Founders get early access to the same clinical, economic and commercial know how we use with every Vivvidae client, right when the right answers matter most. It is a strong start on the road ahead, and we learn just as much from the founders as they do from us.

What founders gain

Clarity

A clear strategic plan across regulation, technology and market.

02

Business

A business model that works, and a story that fits what stakeholders care about.

03

Traction

Milestones that show real progress and attract capital.

04

Community

A national network of mentors, fellow founders, partners and investors.

The next cohort

Six founders. Six months, October through April. Workshops, panels and one on one time with experienced leaders from across the innovation community, plus a mid program gathering and a closing celebration in Rhode Island. Founders leave with a clearer plan, trusted advisors and partners they can keep building with.
