Description
The Ignite Fund at Johns Hopkins University helps student entrepreneurs complete a single, clearly defined task that will move their venture forward. Applicants must identify the task and explain how completing it will affect the venture’s next steps, rather than propose a broad program of work.
The fund considers proposals for a range of tasks. Because funding is limited, successful applications will emphasize the impact a modest award could have on the venture’s progress.
