Learn business fundamentals and get hands-on, practical experience to turn your ideas into successful ventures with this four-week, full-time program.

Live Online Program

Stanford Ignite – Full-Time is an intensive, four-week live online program that’s academically rigorous, hands-on, and collaborative. Designed for working professionals and graduate students, it teaches you how to evaluate, develop, and commercialize business ideas.

While entirely virtual, the Stanford Ignite experience is optimized for interaction and impact. Engage directly with Stanford GSB faculty during real-time lectures and Q&A sessions focused on the fundamentals of business. Immediately apply new learnings by working on a team venture project with fellow innovators. And receive ongoing small-group feedback from the faculty director, entrepreneurial mentors, and communication coaches. We’ve even created virtual social events to foster deeper connections and facilitate networking. Stanford Ignite – Full-Time is the ultimate in learning by doing. The four-week, full-time program culminates with a live online presentation and feedback session with venture capitalists, angel investors, industry experts, and experienced entrepreneurs.
