IgniteHQ, an entrepreneurial headquarters partnered with Kennesaw State University, opened its Marietta location on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
The new facility will provide office spaces, training opportunities, mentors and connections for both current and prospective entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. IgniteHQ spokeswoman Karen Jones said that KSU students will have the chance to build their ideas through the facility.
“IgniteHQ provides an entrepreneurial path for bright KSU students looking to impact the community by building businesses around their research and ideas,” Jones said.
Students will be able to go beyond a classroom setting and transform their research and ideas into real companies.
Though students will have a main role in the growth of IgniteHQ, its main purpose is to bring the business community together. Along with KSU, IgniteHQ is also partnered with the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce.
“We are an incubator and accelerator working with established businesses and startups,” Jones said. “IgniteHQ is building a community. We are a platform for startups and businesses to grow and prosper.”
Any students interested in taking their business ideas to the next level are encouraged to join IgniteHQ. Information on how to join can be found online at www.ignitehq.co, or student can visit the new headquarters, located in downtown Marietta.
