The purpose of the Ignite competition is to first and foremost create tangible resources and opportunities for minorities and underserved groups interested in being apart of Georgia’s emerging Cannabis industry. It is our hope that through this experience we can help begin providing consistent foundational support for existing and future businesses seeking aide through our Cannabis incubator program. It is our hope that the Ignite Pitch competition will foster a supportive environment for founders to build the knowledge, skills, and resources required to develop the equitable, robust Cannabis industry we all deserve and anticipate. We have built our community to be welcoming and engaging, and urge everyone from staff members to event-goers – to be deliberate in building an environment where the security and respect of others are validated and appreciated.
