Dear students,

You're invited to The IGNITE Student Entrepreneurship Program and Pitch Contest.

George Mason University's students are invited to participate in the Prince William County Department of Economic Development (PWCDED) IGNITE program for high-growth entrepreneurs!

The inaugural IGNITE Student Entrepreneurship cohort will participate in lean startup, business canvas, intellectual property, and funding education. Selected teams will be awarded funds to generate preliminary results towards developing their ideas. The program will culminate in a team pitch contest, where the winners can walk away with up to a $5,000 cash award towards their team's startup idea.
