Hi there

Welcome to IGNITE. I'm Natalie Montagnani, it's Founder. I am on a mission to empower women in business to have more impact and influence in our world.

But we have a lot of work to do in order for that to happen:

• It will take 134 years to get gender parity at the current rate of progress (Global Gender Gap Report 2024).
• In 2022, companies with solely female founders received a shockingly low rate of just 2.1% of all US venture capital (according to Pitchbook) 
• A female entrepreneur earns on average 44.3% less than a male entrepreneur (Partena Professional Report 2023).
• Women still only hold 29% of corporate board seats (2023 Gender Diversity Index Report)

In the UK alone, the potential is enormous - The Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship found that if women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men, it could add a stagering £250 billion to the economy!

At IGNITE we have a wide range of ways to support you with our events, POWERHOUSE Women community, mentoring/ coaching, consultancy and corporate training.

Join our incredible community for women today and let’s IGNITE together!
