Who are we

Every successful business asks the same question: "What difference are we making?“ Because if the bottom line is healthy, but people and the environment aren’t, what’s the point? That’s why we started Ignite — to help businesses see the true impact of their suppliers and empower the best decisions now and in the future.

Since starting Ignite in 2017, we have grown into a team of over 50 ambitious individuals united by a shared passion to make a real difference and create meaningful impact on the world. We’re a diverse group of people from chess masters, marathon runners, DJs, musicians, gamers, bakers, football players, bookworms, and more. We’re constantly innovating and building a product that addresses real customer challenges while advancing our mission. We believe that by working together, we can develop innovative solutions and achieve our goals. One team, one dream.
