About IgniteXL
Founded in 2014, igniteXL is Silicon Valley and Asia based accelerator and seed fund focused on early stage startups expanding to global markets. Taking a very focused, customized and high-touch approach, igniteXL has developed a reputation among entrepreneurs as ‘must-have’, ‘dedicated team’, and ‘best-partner in Silicon Valley’. In June 2018, igniteXL launched its first beauty-tech acceleration program in partnership with Draper University to work with the most promising beauty-tech startups from all around the world.
Greatness comes in many different shapes and forms. Often times, it gets lost in translation because of culture and language. We set out to help international entrepreneurs discover their own greatness by injecting key resources to speed up the process of building great global companies.
