About Programme

Stanford Ignite – Post-9/11 Veterans is an intensive, four-week live online program that’s academically rigorous, hands-on, and collaborative. While entirely virtual, the Stanford Ignite experience is optimized for interaction and impact. Engage directly with Stanford GSB faculty during real-time lectures and Q&A sessions focused on the fundamentals of business.

Immediately apply new learnings by working on a team venture project with fellow innovators and receive ongoing small-group feedback from the faculty director, entrepreneurial mentors, and communication coaches. We’ve even created virtual social events to foster deeper connections and facilitate networking. Stanford Ignite – Post-9/11 Veterans is the ultimate in learning by doing. The four-week, full-time program culminates with a live online presentation and feedback session with venture capitalists, angel investors, industry experts, and experienced entrepreneurs.
