Startup Ignition is a structured validation platform that helps founders de-risk their startup ideas before investing significant time and money. The platform guides you through a proven sequence of AI-powered tools — from initial idea analysis all the way through customer interviews and market validation.
Log in or create your account — Visit app.startupignition.com and sign in with Google, LinkedIn, or create an account with your email and password.
Create or join a workspace — If this is your first time, you will be prompted to create a workspace. If someone has invited you, you can accept their invite instead.
Create your first idea — Head to the Ideas page and click Create Idea. Enter a startup name, describe the problem, and describe your solution. Optionally, click Get Suggestions to have the platform generate personalized idea suggestions based on your founder profile, goals, and interests.
Work through the ToolSuite — Open the Tools tab in the sidebar. You will see a numbered sequence of validation tools. Start with Idea Analysis and progress through each tool in order.
Invite collaborators — Share your idea with co-founders or advisors by adding people from inside any tool page. Just click the chat icon (top-right)!
Each tool builds on the insights from the previous one, so we recommend following the suggested order for the best results.
