What is Ignite100?

More than a software company

Traditional software companies charge clients to build software. We do much more.

We partner with entrepreneurs that have promising business ideas. If we believe an idea has strong commercial potential, we become your long-term technology partner — helping create a real business, not just delivering code.

FAQs

Questions, answered

Do I need a finished business plan?
No. A clear idea and an understanding of your market is enough to start. We help shape the product and technology roadmap with you.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We are happy to sign a mutual NDA before you share confidential details of your idea.
How is equity decided?
Equity is agreed upfront in the partnership proposal, based on the scope of work, the development fee and the stage and potential of your business.
Can I approach you with just an idea?
Absolutely — most founders do. If the idea has strong commercial potential we can take it from concept to launched product.
Do you invest cash?
Our investment is in technology, expertise and delivery rather than cash. Fundraising and capital remain the founder's responsibility unless separately agreed.
Who owns the intellectual property?
Ownership is defined in the partnership agreement. On development-only engagements you own 100% of the IP; on equity partnerships it sits within the company we build together.
What happens if my project isn't approved?
We only take on ventures we believe in, so acceptance is selective. If it isn't the right fit we'll tell you honestly, and you can still engage us on a standard development basis.
Do you help with marketing?
We provide technology, product and launch support. Marketing, sales, fundraising and business operations remain the founder's responsibility unless separately agreed.
What is Ignite100?
Ignite100 is a London-based technology venture partner. We design, build, launch and grow startups end-to-end, working on a fee-plus-equity model so our success is tied to yours. We are not a traditional agency — we become a long-term partner in the venture.
Where is Ignite100 based?
Ignite100 is based in London, United Kingdom, at 1 Telegraph Street, London, EC2R 7AR. We work with founders across the UK and internationally.
How does the fee-plus-equity model work?
You pay a reduced development fee that covers a portion of the build cost, and in exchange for the remainder we take an agreed equity stake in your company. This lowers your upfront cash requirement and aligns our incentives with the long-term success of the venture.
What kinds of products do you build?
We specialise in software products — SaaS platforms, fintech, regtech, accounting, HR tech, marketplaces and commerce infrastructure. Our portfolio includes payroll, payments, compliance automation and unified checkout products.
How long does it take to launch a product?
Timelines depend on scope, but a focused MVP typically moves from concept to a live, usable product in a matter of weeks rather than months. We prioritise shipping a real product early and improving it with users.
What stage of startup do you work with?
We work with founders from the earliest idea stage through to existing products that need a technology partner to scale. A validated idea and a clear understanding of your market is enough to begin a conversation.
What is i100?
i100 is the unit used to represent a member's allocation within the Ignite100 member portal. It is held in a member's wallet and can be transferred securely between verified members. It is administered entirely within our platform.
How do I submit my idea to Ignite100?
Use the "Pitch Your Idea" option on our website to send us a short description of your idea and your market. If it looks like a strong fit we will arrange a call to discuss a partnership proposal.
Is Ignite100 an incubator or accelerator?
No. Ignite100 is a technology venture partner. Rather than running cohort-based programmes, we work hands-on as the product and engineering team that designs, builds and launches your venture in exchange for a fee and equity.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes. Many of the founders we partner with are non-technical. We act as the complete technology function — product, design, engineering and launch — so you can focus on your market, customers and business.
