Ignite is funded primarily through commercial activity, and has also raised investment from Northstar Ventures through the FBNE Accelerator Fund, managed by North East Finance as part of the £125m FBNE program. Founded in 2011 by Colin Willis, Jon Bradford, and Paul Smith, Ignite was expected to be a one-off, three month program.
