Welcome to the RPI Ignite Activator Program. Interested in developing your company and working toward the commercialization of your product or service? RPI's Catalyst Incubator walks entrepreneurs through the stages of new venture organization and growth.
The Ignite Activator is extra-curricular and all current RPI undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, faculty and staff can apply to be a part of a cohort. The Ignite Activator is a bootcamp-style experiential learning program comprised of weekly workshops for 10 weeks. The Severino Center staff and industry experts lead the hands-on workshops. The Ignite Activator runs one time per year: spring.
Topics include: Contracts, financial instruments, financial management (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement), leadership team building, corporate development, product roadmap, go-to-market strategy, intellectual property portfolio strategy, sales, and corporate valuation.
There are a limited number of seats in every cohort, so interested students, faculty, and staff must apply for this competitive program. Join the Severino Center’s mailing list to receive notification as to when the application window opens for each cohort.
The Catalyst Incubator Program is run by RPI's Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship. For additional information, contact severinocenter@rpi.edu or reach out to Randy Stewart (stewak4@rpi.edu) or Eric Ledet (ledete@rpi.edu).
