Together we can equip every student with the ability to thrive.
The beginning
From purpose to vision
The question was soon posed 'how do we translate our audacious vision into measurable goals and unite the most capable people in the world to achieve them, in the shortest possible time?'
From pain to purpose
Unaware of the effects black mold exposure and his ADHD medications were having followed by temporarily homeless, Ignite's soon to be founder experienced just how broken our approaches towards health really are.
Realizing how lucky he was to fully and quickly recover, he had one goal. To make sure nobody had to experience the avoidable suffering he did & Ignite was born.
A vision becomes a movement
Ignite quickly grew to attract a phenomenal team, leading academics, entrepreneurs and students; refusing to accept the status quo, intent to transform the future of mental health.
WHY WE ARE FOCUSED ON MOONSHOTS
When President John. F Kennedy said we would put a man on the moon within a decade, the genius of his original moonshot was the fact that he said we don't know how to do it but we were going to find a way, not because it was easy but because it was hard and important.
Throughout the course of history, we’ve seen that when driven people set their minds to ambitious goals they can make the once impossible, possible.
Moonshot thinking is about just that — having the courage to commit and double down on difficult goals which when achieved will redefine humanity as we know it.
At Ignite we're bringing together a world-class team committed to launching and iterating the vehicles needed to catalyze progress towards the Moonshot Goals needed to transform the future of mental health.

Tasked with catalyzing the legislative changes needed to achieve The Goals.
Creating this world requires not only radical collaboration but a firm commitment to learning, experimentation, iteration and adaption. Over the past two years we have had the opportunity to study and learn more about root cause contributors together with launching various pilots and initiatives. Some of these have helped update our assumptions, and some of them have forever changed the way we operate. But all of them move us closer towards creating a world free of suffering.
