Founding partner
Proud to help build what's next in health.
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.

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.
