The audaciousness of Ignite 1.0 allowed us to iteratively build an even more audacious Ignite 2.0. Armed with the insights gleaned during Ignite 2.0 we (you guessed it!) iterated to an even more audacious Ignite 3.0. Unlike previous Ignite iterations however, Ignite 3.0 doesn't require an active online presense & we are thus - yet to overhaul this website.
We will likely be exiting our quasi-stealth operating mode during late 2024/2025 so until then this website and the majority of its content can be taken to represent Ignite 2.0 as at December 2021-ish.
Together we can end avoidable human suffering.
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
During 2015/2016, while unaware of the effects which black-mold and indoor air pollution were having in causing his severe health and cognitive issues - Sean (Ignites soon to be Founder) experienced just how broken our approaches to health really are.
​
Realizing how lucky he was to have the time to research & iterate his way back to good health Sean had one goal - to make sure nobody would have to experience the easily avoidable suffering he did. And so - 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 impossible - possible.
Moonshot thinking is about just that — having the courage to commit to 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 global health.

IGNITE MOBILIZER
Tasked with catalyzing the policy & legislative changes needed to achieve Ignites Health Moonshots.
Creating the world we want to see for global health 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 iterate, study and learn vast amounts about the root cause contributors of the problem areas are are focusing on 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 where avoidable human suffering does not exist.
